To test MIMOX, we have applied it to several cases taken from other similar research and literature. We compared the results from MIMOX with the results from other computational tools and the native epitope itself if the epitope is known in the CED database [24] . It should be pointed out that cases using monoclonal antibodies are most appropriate for testing [15] . However, in order to compare with previously published tools, some less appropriate cases (using polyclonal antibodies) taken from the corresponding literature are also used. More case studies [see Additional file 1] can also be found on the test dataset page of MIMOX[25].
