Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: The goal in vaccinology is to identify candidate antigens for clinical trials that will elicit an immune response for a significant portion of the target population. Unfortunately, promising data generated at the preclinical level often cannot be replicated in larger sample sizes. The goal of this project was to develop a methodology for processing MAE-generated data to identify MHC epitopes, minimize non-specific contaminants, find binding motifs, and utilize genetic connections among donors to determine which peptides were presented by specific MHC alleles. RESULTS: Our approach demonstrated that mild acid elution of peptides from seven consanguineous B-lymphocyte lines accurately reflects the HLA genotypes within family members, highlighting the specificity of MAE. Additionally, the data successfully reproduced known MHC binding motifs and partially deconvoluted the originating HLA alleles of the epitopes. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that our approach could be applied to numerous cell lines globally to evaluate a wide array of HLA haplotypes. This may help to reveal candidate vaccine antigens that induce immune protection for a wider population.

Not 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.
