Preclinical assessment of an anti-HTLV-1 heterologous DNA/MVA vaccine protocol expressing a multiepitope HBZ protein | Virology Journal

Design of the recombinant virus MVA-HBZ The multiepitope protein design was based on HBZ sequence deposited in the GenBank database [17, 23, 24], and in silico analyses performed using the epitope prediction tools: NetMHCpan 4.0 (Threshold: weak binders—2.0; strong binders—0.5), NetCTL 1.2 (Threshold of 0.75) and IEDB—MHC-I Binding Predictions. Epitopes…

The impact of mutational clonality in predicting the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced urothelial cancer

Genomic analysis and cohort description We generated whole-exome sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data from tumors and blood samples from 27 advanced urothelial cancer patients treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 ICIs at Hospital del Mar (Fig. 1a). WES data was obtained from the tumors before treatment as well as from blood samples,…

Protein code and shape used to predict peptide-protein interactions

Solving puzzles experimentally is enjoyable for many researchers. However, there are some puzzles that force even the best puzzlers to nominate modeling over experimental approaches to help decipher how the pieces fit together. Uncovering which proteins interact with which short peptide or protein fragment is an extremely complex puzzle. Yet,…

Efficient evolution of human antibodies from general protein language models

Acquiring amino acid substitutions via language model consensus We select amino acid substitutions recommended by a consensus of language models. We take as input a single wild-type sequence x = (x1,…,xN)∈ \(\mathcal{X}\)N, where \(\mathcal{X}\) is the set of amino acids, and N is the sequence length. We also require a set of…
