MhcVizPipe: A Quality Control Software for Rapid Assessment of Small- to Large-Scale Immunopeptidome Datasets
Bibliographic record
Abstract
MS-based immunopeptidomics is maturing into an automatized and high-throughput technology, producing small- to large-scale datasets of clinically relevant major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-associated and class II-associated peptides. Consequently, the development of quality control (QC) and quality assurance systems capable of detecting sample and/or measurement issues is important for instrument operators and scientists in charge of downstream data interpretation. Here, we created MhcVizPipe (MVP), a semiautomated QC software tool that enables rapid and simultaneous assessment of multiple MHC class I and II immunopeptidomic datasets generated by MS, including datasets generated from large sample cohorts. In essence, MVP provides a rapid and consolidated view of sample quality, composition, and MHC specificity to greatly accelerate the "pass-fail" QC decision-making process toward data interpretation. MVP parallelizes the use of well-established immunopeptidomic algorithms (NetMHCpan, NetMHCIIpan, and GibbsCluster) and rapidly generates organized and easy-to-understand reports in HTML format. The reports are fully portable and can be viewed on any computer with a modern web browser. MVP is intuitive to use and will find utility in any specialized immunopeptidomic laboratory and proteomics core facility that provides immunopeptidomic services to the community.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
