Abstract
PURPOSE Immunopeptidome divergence between mismatched HLA-DP is a determinant of T-cell alloreactivity and clinical tolerability after fully HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1 matched unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation (UD-HCT). Here, we tested this concept in HLA-A, -B, and -C disparities after single class I HLA-mismatched UD-HCT. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied 2,391 single class I HLA-mismatched and 14,426 fully HLA-matched UD-HCT performed between 2008 and 2018 for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes. Hierarchical clustering of experimentally determined peptide-binding motifs (PBM) was used as a proxy for immunopeptidome divergence of HLA-A, -B, or -C disparities, allowing us to classify 1,629/2,391 (68.1%) of the HLA-mismatched UD-HCT as PBM-matched or PBM-mismatched. Risks associated with PBM-matching status were assessed by Cox proportional hazards models, with overall survival (OS) as the primary end point. RESULTS Relative to full matches, bidirectional or unidirectional PBM mismatches in graft-versus-host (GVH) direction (PBM-GVH mismatches, 60.7%) were associated with significantly lower OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.48; P < .0001), while unidirectional PBM mismatches in host-versus-graft direction or PBM matches (PBM-GVH matches, 39.3%) were not (HR, 1.13; P = .1017). PBM-GVH mismatches also had significantly lower OS than PBM-GVH matches in direct comparison (HR, 1.32; P = .0036). The hazards for transplant-related mortality and acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease but not relapse increased stepwise from full HLA matches to single PBM-GVH matches, and single PBM-GVH mismatches. A webtool for PBM-matching of single class I HLA-mismatched donor-recipient pairs was developed. CONCLUSION PBM-GVH mismatches inform mortality risks after single class I HLA-mismatched UD-HCT, suggesting that prospective consideration of directional PBM-matching status might improve outcome. These findings highlight immunopeptidome divergence between mismatched HLA as a driver of clinical tolerability in UD-HCT.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
