There is the program ANTIGENIC which is part of the EGCG package (which
means you also have to have GCG).
ANTIGENIC
ANTIGENIC looks for potential antigenic regions using the method of
Kolaskar.
ANTIGENIC
DESCRIPTION
Antigenic predicts potentially antigenic regions of a protein
sequence, using the method of Kolaskar and Tongaonkar (1990); FEBS
Letters 276:172-174 "A semi-empirical method for prediction of
antigenic determinants on protein antigens."
