Antibody affinity maturation by computational design

Kuroda, Daisuke, Tsumoto, Kouhei·2018·Methods in molecular biology

Abstract

The immune systems protect our bodies from foreign molecules or antigens, where antibodies play important roles. Antibodies evolve over time upon antigen encounter by somatically mutating their genome sequences. The end result is a series of antibodies that display higher affinities and specificities to specific antigens. This process is called affinity maturation. Recent improvements in computer hardware and modeling algorithms now enable the rational design of protein structures and functions, and several works on computer-aided antibody design have been published. In this chapter, we briefly describe computational methods for antibody affinity maturation, focusing on methods for sampling antibody conformations and for scoring designed antibody variants. We also discuss lessons learned from the successful computer-aided design of antibodies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
