DeepHLApan: A Deep Learning Approach for the Prediction of Peptide-HLA Binding and Immunogenicity.

ABSTRACT

Neoantigens are crucial in distinguishing cancer cells from normal ones and play a significant role in cancer immunotherapy. The field of bioinformatics prediction for tumor neoantigens has rapidly developed, focusing on the prediction of peptide-HLA binding affinity. In this chapter, we introduce a user-friendly tool named DeepHLApan, which utilizes deep learning techniques to predict neoantigens by considering both peptide-HLA binding affinity and immunogenicity. We provide the application of DeepHLApan, along with the source code, docker version, and web-server.
