Machine learning insights into vaccine adjuvants and immune outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Adjuvants boost the immune response to vaccine antigens, serving as key components in safe and effective vaccines. However, selecting a suitable adjuvant for a new vaccine can be challenging. This is due to the wide variety of adjuvants and the many mechanisms of vaccines they are meant to enhance. Therefore, the adjuvant selection process heavily relies on empirical experiments, which are time-consuming and resource-intensive. In this study, we introduce a machine learning approach leveraging non-human primate RNA transcriptomic data to predict immunogenic antibody levels after vaccination. Furthermore, analysis of the trained deep learning models enabled the identification of immune response mechanisms that are stimulated by adjuvants. Integration of machine learning has the potential to
