Vaxjo: A Web-Based Vaccine Adjuvant Database and Its Application for Analysis of Vaccine Adjuvants and Their Uses in Vaccine Development

Figure 1

Vaxjo workflow and system design. Manual curation includes peer-reviewed publications from PubMed. A PubMed ID (PMID) is extracted and used by an internal script to retrieve detailed citation information (e.g., authors, journal, and date). The detailed information of a vaccine adjuvant is curated and cited from published studies. Each vaccine adjuvant is assigned with a Vaccine Ontology (VO) ID, which is further used in an internal computational script to obtain the information of relevant adjuvanted vaccines from the general VIOLIN relational database.
