  • Publication number: 20240361335
    Abstract: Given a set of therapeutic epitopes, a cassette sequence is designed to reduce the likelihood that junction epitopes are presented in the patient. The cassette sequence is designed by taking into account presentation of junction epitopes that span the junction between a pair of therapeutic epitopes in the cassette. The cassette sequence may be designed based on a set of distance metrics each associated with a junction of the cassette. The distance metric may specify a likelihood that one or more of the junction epitopes spanning between a pair of adjacent epitopes will be presented.

  • Publication number: 20220154281
    Abstract: A method for identifying T-cells that are antigen-specific for at least one neoantigen that is likely to be presented by class II MHC alleles on surfaces of tumor cells of a subject. Peptide sequences of tumor neoantigens are obtained by sequencing the tumor cells of the subject. The peptide sequences are input into a machine-learned presentation model to generate presentation likelihoods for the tumor neoantigens, each presentation likelihood representing the likelihood that a neoantigen is presented by the class II MHC alleles on the surfaces of the tumor cells of the subject. A subset of the neoantigens is selected based on the presentation likelihoods. T-cells that are antigen-specific for at least one of the neoantigens in the subset are identified. These T-cells can be expanded for use in T-cell therapy. TCRs of these identified T-cells can also be sequenced and cloned into new T-cells for use in T-cell therapy.
