 # IEDB Assay Export
 
-This repository contains a mirrored IEDB XML export in `iedb_export.zip`. The added Parquet files make the export loadable in the Hugging Face Dataset Viewer and the `datasets` API.
-
-The default table is assay-level: each row represents one B-cell, T-cell, MHC-binding, or MHC-ligand-elution assay extracted from the XML. Reference-level article metadata and epitope-level metadata are repeated on each assay row so the table can be filtered and viewed directly.

+IEDB is a curated database of experimentally characterized immune epitopes, including B cell, T cell, and MHC-binding data across infectious, allergic, autoimmune, and transplant contexts.
