Improved methods for predicting peptide binding affinity to MHC class II molecules
Open accessAbstract
Summary: Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC‐II) molecules are expressed on the surface of professional antigen‐presenting cells where they display peptides to T helper cells, which orchestrate the onset and outcome of many host immune responses. Understanding which peptides will be presented by the MHC‐II molecule is therefore important for understanding the activation of T helper cells and can be used to identify T‐cell epitopes. We here present updated versions of two MHC–II–peptide binding affinity prediction methods, Net MHCII and Net MHCII pan. These were constructed using an extended data set of quantitative MHC–peptide binding affinity data obtained from the Immune Epitope Database covering HLA‐DR, HLA‐DQ, HLA‐DP and H‐2 mouse molecules. We show that training with this extended data set improved the performance for peptide binding predictions for both methods. Both methods are publicly available at www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetMHCII-2.3 and www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetMHCIIpan-3.2.

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.
