Transfer learning improves pMHC kinetic stability and immunogenicity predictions.

ABSTRACT: The cellular immune response comprises several processes, with the most notable ones being the binding of the peptide to the Major Histocompability Complex (MHC), the peptide-MHC (pMHC) presentation to the surface of the cell, and the recognition of the pMHC by the T-Cell Receptor. Identifying the most potent peptide targets for MHC binding, presentation and T-cell recognition is vital for developing peptide-based vaccines and T-cell-based immunotherapies. Data-driven tools that predict each of these steps have been developed, and the availability of mass spectrometry (MS) datasets has facilitated the development of accurate Machine Learning (ML) methods for class-I pMHC binding prediction. However, the accuracy of ML-based tools for pMHC kinetic stability prediction and peptide immunogeni
