Gapped sequence alignment using artificial neural networks: application to the MHC class I system.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Many biological processes are guided by receptor interactions with linear ligands of variable length. One such receptor is the MHC class I molecule. The length preferences vary depending on the MHC allele, but are generally limited to pep...

Accurate pan-specific prediction of peptide-MHC class II binding affinity with improved binding core identification.

Immunogenetics
A key event in the generation of a cellular response against malicious organisms through the endocytic pathway is binding of peptidic antigens by major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC class II) molecules. The bound peptide is then presented ...

High-order neural networks and kernel methods for peptide-MHC binding prediction.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Effective computational methods for peptide-protein binding prediction can greatly help clinical peptide vaccine search and design. However, previous computational methods fail to capture key nonlinear high-order dependencies between diff...

Geometric epitope and paratope prediction.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Identifying the binding sites of antibodies is essential for developing vaccines and synthetic antibodies. In this article, we investigate the optimal representation for predicting the binding sites in the two molecules and emphasize the ...

HLAIImaster: a deep learning method with adaptive domain knowledge predicts HLA II neoepitope immunogenic responses.

Briefings in bioinformatics
While significant strides have been made in predicting neoepitopes that trigger autologous CD4+ T cell responses, accurately identifying the antigen presentation by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II molecules remains a challenge. This identifica...

PiTE: TCR-epitope Binding Affinity Prediction Pipeline using Transformer-based Sequence Encoder.

Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing
Accurate prediction of TCR binding affinity to a target antigen is important for development of immunotherapy strategies. Recent computational methods were built on various deep neural networks and used the evolutionary-based distance matrix BLOSUM t...

In silico proof of principle of machine learning-based antibody design at unconstrained scale.

mAbs
Generative machine learning (ML) has been postulated to become a major driver in the computational design of antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb). However, efforts to confirm this hypothesis have been hindered by the infeasibility of testing ...

Predicting MHC class I binder: existing approaches and a novel recurrent neural network solution.

Briefings in bioinformatics
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) possesses important research value in the treatment of complex human diseases. A plethora of computational tools has been developed to predict MHC class I binders. Here, we comprehensively reviewed 27 up-to-date...

Vaxign2: the second generation of the first Web-based vaccine design program using reverse vaccinology and machine learning.

Nucleic acids research
Vaccination is one of the most significant inventions in medicine. Reverse vaccinology (RV) is a state-of-the-art technique to predict vaccine candidates from pathogen's genome(s). To promote vaccine development, we updated Vaxign2, the first web-bas...

Deep generative selection models of T and B cell receptor repertoires with soNNia.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Subclasses of lymphocytes carry different functional roles to work together and produce an immune response and lasting immunity. Additionally to these functional roles, T and B cell lymphocytes rely on the diversity of their receptor chains to recogn...
