RT Journal Article T1 Predicting MHC I restricted T cell epitopes in mice with NAP-CNB, a novel online tool A1 Wert Carvajal, Carlos A1 Sánchez García, Rubén A1 Macías, José R. A1 Sanz Pamplona, Rebeca A1 Méndez Pérez, Almudena A1 Alemany, Ramon A1 Veiga, Esteban A1 Sánchez Sorzano, Carlos Óscar A1 Muñoz Barrutia, María Arrate AB Lack of a dedicated integrated pipeline for neoantigen discovery in mice hinders cancerimmunotherapy research. Novel sequential approaches through recurrent neural networks canimprove the accuracy of T-cell epitope binding affinity predictions in mice, and a simplified variantselection process can reduce operational requirements. We have developed a web server tool (NAPCNB)for a full and automatic pipeline based on recurrent neural networks, to predict putativeneoantigens from tumoral RNA sequencing reads. The developed software can estimate H-2 peptideligands, with an AUC comparable or superior to state-of-the-art methods, directly from tumorsamples. As a proof-of-concept, we used the B16 melanoma model to test the system’s predictivecapabilities, and we report its putative neoantigens.
