A deep learning method for HLA imputation and trans-ethnic MHC fine-mapping of type 1 diabetes.

Nature communications
Conventional human leukocyte antigen (HLA) imputation methods drop their performance for infrequent alleles, which is one of the factors that reduce the reliability of trans-ethnic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) fine-mapping due to inter-ethn...

TAP 1.0: A robust immunoinformatic tool for the prediction of tumor T-cell antigens based on AAindex properties.

Computational biology and chemistry
Immunotherapy is a research area with great potential in drug discovery for cancer treatment. Because of the capacity of tumor antigens to activate the immune response and promote the destruction of tumor cells, they are considered excellent immunoth...

MATHLA: a robust framework for HLA-peptide binding prediction integrating bidirectional LSTM and multiple head attention mechanism.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of binding between class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and neoepitope is critical for target identification within personalized T-cell based immunotherapy. Many recent prediction tools developed upon the deep learnin...

Identification and validation of 174 COVID-19 vaccine candidate epitopes reveals low performance of common epitope prediction tools.

Scientific reports
The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) virus has highlighted the need for fast and efficacious vaccine development. Stimulation of a proper immune response that leads to protection is highly dependent on presentation of epitopes to circulating T-cell...

Estimating the Binding of Sars-CoV-2 Peptides to HLA Class I in Human Subpopulations Using Artificial Neural Networks.

Cell systems
Epidemiological studies show that SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to severe symptoms only in a fraction of patients, but the determinants of individual susceptibility to the virus are still unknown. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I expos...

IConMHC: a deep learning convolutional neural network model to predict peptide and MHC-I binding affinity.

Immunogenetics
Tumor-specific neoantigens are mutated self-peptides presented by tumor cell major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and are necessary to elicit host's anti-cancer cytotoxic T cell responses. It could be specifically recognized by neoantigen...

iTTCA-Hybrid: Improved and robust identification of tumor T cell antigens by utilizing hybrid feature representation.

Analytical biochemistry
In spite of the repertoire of existing cancer therapies, the ongoing recurrence and new cases of cancer poses a challenging health concern that prompts for novel and effective treatment. Cancer immunotherapy represents a promising venue for treatment...

Prediction of peptide binding to MHC using machine learning with sequence and structure-based feature sets.

Biochimica et biophysica acta. General subjects
Selecting peptides that bind strongly to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) for inclusion in a vaccine has therapeutic potential for infections and tumors. Machine learning models trained on sequence data exist for peptide:MHC (p:MHC) binding...

High-Throughput Prediction of MHC Class I and II Neoantigens with MHCnuggets.

Cancer immunology research
Computational prediction of binding between neoantigen peptides and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins can be used to predict patient response to cancer immunotherapy. Current neoantigen predictors focus on estimation of MHC binding aff...

Machine-Learning Prediction of Tumor Antigen Immunogenicity in the Selection of Therapeutic Epitopes.

Cancer immunology research
Current tumor neoantigen calling algorithms primarily rely on epitope/major histocompatibility complex (MHC) binding affinity predictions to rank and select for potential epitope targets. These algorithms do not predict for epitope immunogenicity usi...
