ANABAG: Annotated Antibody-Antigen Data Set with Unique Features for Antibody Engineering Applications.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The analysis and prediction of antibody-antigen (Ab-Ag) interactions often overlook critical structural features such as glycosylation and important physicochemical conditions like pH and salt concentration. Additionally, the field lacks standardized...

A specific gene expression program underlies antigen archiving by lymphatic endothelial cells in mammalian lymph nodes.

Nature communications
Lymph node (LN) lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) actively acquire and archive foreign antigens. Here, we address questions of how LECs achieve durable antigen archiving and whether LECs with high levels of antigen express unique transcriptional prog...

MultiSAAl: Sequence-Informed Antibody-Antigen Interaction Prediction Using Multiscale Deep Learning.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Antibody-antigen interaction prediction is essential for therapeutic development but remains experimentally costly. The dynamic conformational changes essential to antibody-antigen binding are often missed by structure-based methods relying on static...

AlphaBind, a domain-specific model to predict and optimize antibody-antigen binding affinity.

mAbs
Antibodies are versatile therapeutic molecules that use combinatorial sequence diversity to cover a vast fitness landscape. Designing optimal antibody sequences, however, remains a major challenge. Recent advances in deep learning provide opportuniti...

AbEpiTope-1.0: Improved antibody target prediction by use of AlphaFold and inverse folding.

Science advances
B cell epitope prediction tools are crucial for designing vaccines and disease diagnostics. However, predicting which antigens a specific antibody binds to and their exact binding sites (epitopes) remains challenging. Here, we present AbEpiTope-1.0, ...

Determining IFI44 as a key lupus nephritis's biomarker through bioinformatics and immunohistochemistry.

Renal failure
BACKGROUND: Lupus nephritis (LN) emerges as a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), significantly affecting patient survival. Despite improvements in treatment reducing LN's morbidity and mortality, existing therapies remain subo...

DeepInterAware: Deep Interaction Interface-Aware Network for Improving Antigen-Antibody Interaction Prediction from Sequence Data.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Identifying interactions between candidate antibodies and target antigens is a key step in developing effective human therapeutics. The antigen-antibody interaction (AAI) occurs at the structural level, but the limited structure data poses a signific...

Prediction of antibody-antigen interaction based on backbone aware with invariant point attention.

BMC bioinformatics
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-c...

ANTIPASTI: Interpretable prediction of antibody binding affinity exploiting normal modes and deep learning.

Structure (London, England : 1993)
The high binding affinity of antibodies toward their cognate targets is key to eliciting effective immune responses, as well as to the use of antibodies as research and therapeutic tools. Here, we propose ANTIPASTI, a convolutional neural network mod...

Pretrainable geometric graph neural network for antibody affinity maturation.

Nature communications
Increasing the binding affinity of an antibody to its target antigen is a crucial task in antibody therapeutics development. This paper presents a pretrainable geometric graph neural network, GearBind, and explores its potential in in silico affinity...
