Abstract

BACKGROUND: Antibodies play a crucial role in disease treatment, leveraging their ability to selectively interact with the specific antigen. However, screening antibody gene sequences for target antigens via biological experiments is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Several computational methods have been developed to predict antibody-antigen interaction while suffering from the lack of characterizing the underlying structure of the antibody.
