Since the incidence of pollinosis due to oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is increasing day by day, keeping pace with its high cultivation rate, the search for its allergens is a demand of time to develop effective immune therapy. In the present study, different computational tools were adopted to predict the potential of Bnm1 as a candidate allergen. Physicochemical properties of Bnm1 showed its molecular weight (~20kD) and theoretical pI (5.27) along with other properties to be fallen between the ranges essential for a protein to be an allergen. Keeping in mind the capability of allergen to induce both humoral and cell mediated immune response, we checked both the potential B cell and T cell epitope candidates of Bnm1 using different immune-informatics tools housed at IEDB analysis resource. For B cell epitope prediction, potential antigenic sites on the protein surface were predicted by both propensity scale and machine learning method followed by their mapping on Bnm1 3D structure predicted from homology modeling
