Towards antigenic peptide discovery with better MHC-I binding prediction and improved benchmark methodology
The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a crucial component of the cellular immune system in vertebrates, responsible for, among others, presenting peptides derived from intracellular proteins. The MHC-I presentation is vital in the immune response and holds great promise in vaccine development and cancer immunotherapy. In this study, we analyze the limitations of existing methods and benchmarks for MHC-I presentation. We introduce a new benchmark to measure crucial generalization properties and models’ reliability on unseen MHC molecules and peptides. Finally, we present HLABERT, a pre-trained language model which significantly surpasses prior methods on our benchmark and also sets new state-of-the-art on the old benchmarks.

Accelerating MHC-II Epitope Discovery via Multi-Scale Prediction in Antigen Presentation
Antigenic epitope presented by major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II) proteins plays an essential role in immunotherapy. However, compared to the more widely studied MHC-I in computational immunotherapy, the study …
DapPep: Domain Adaptive Peptide-agnostic Learning for Universal T-cell Receptor-antigen Binding Affinity Prediction
Identifying T-cell receptors (TCRs) that interact with antigenic peptides provides the technical basis for developing vaccines and immunotherapies. The emergent deep learning methods excel at learning antigen binding pat…

The binding affinity between the T-cell receptors (TCRs) and antigenic peptides mainly determines immunological recognition. It is not a trivial task that T cells identify the digital sequences of peptide amino acids by …
Broad cross-reactivity of the T-cell repertoire achieves specific and sufficiently rapid target searching
The molecular recognition of T-cell receptors is the hallmark of the adaptive immunity. Given the finiteness of the T-cell repertoire, individual T-cell receptors are necessary to be cross-reactive to multiple antigenic …
Cytomegalovirus Antigenic Mimicry of Human Alloreactive Peptides: A Potential Trigger for Graft versus Host Disease
The association between human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) reactivation and the development of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) has been observed in stem cell transplantation (SCT). Seventy seven SCT donor-recipient pairs (DRP…
