Dynamics-based peptide-MHC binding optimization by a convolutional variational autoencoder: a use-case model for CASTELO [PDF]
An unsolved challenge in the development of antigen specific immunotherapies is determining the optimal antigens to target. Comprehension of antigen-MHC binding is paramount towards achieving this goal. Here, we present CASTELO, a combined machine learning-molecular dynamics (ML-MD) approach to design novel antigens of increased MHC binding affinity ...

TANTIGEN 2.0: a knowledge base of tumor T cell antigens and epitopes
We previously developed TANTIGEN, a comprehensive online database cataloging more than 1000 T cell epitopes and HLA ligands from 292 tumor antigens. In TANTIGEN 2.0, we significantly expanded coverage in both immune response targets (T cell epitopes and ...

Co-delivery of human cancer-testis antigens with adjuvant in protein nanoparticles induces higher cell-mediated immune responses. [PDF]
Nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest as cancer vaccine delivery vehicles for inducing sufficient CD8+ T cell-mediated immune responses to overcome the low immunogenicity of the tumor microenvironment.

Antibodies (a/t) to antigens (a/g) of human tissue compatibility HLA (human leucocyte antigens) are the main cause of kidney transplant rejection. Antigens of the HLAI class system (loci A, B, C) are present on all nucleated cells of the body, HLA class

Mother-child histocompatibility and risk of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus among mothers. [PDF]
The study objective was to test the hypothesis that having histocompatible children increases the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), possibly by contributing to the persistence of fetal cells acquired during ...

Cultured Human Epidermal Cells Do Not Synthesize HLA-DR [PDF]
All nucleated cells express HLA-A, B, and C antigens. However, only a few cells, including epidermal cells, demonstrate HLA-DR antigens which are potent transplantation immunogens in man.

HLA-A,-B,-C and -DR Antigens and Juvenile-Onset Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]
The genetic region which exerts a major influence on graft rejection is known as the major histocompatibility complex or MHC. The MHC in man, the HLA system, includes at least five distinct multi-allelic loci, HLA-A,-B,-C,-D and -DR.

Distribution of HLA epitope frequencies in Turkish population
The antibodies interact with the “Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) antigens” at specific epitopes. “Epitopes” are present on a single HLA or shared by multiple antigens.
