Abstract

MOTIVATION: Prediction of peptide binding to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a vital role in the development of therapeutic vaccines for the treatment of cancer. Algorithms with improved correlations between predicted and actual binding affinities are needed to increase precision and reduce the number of false positive predictions.
