Application of Machine Learning Techniques in Predicting MHC Binders

|
The machine learning techniques are playing a vital role in the field of immunoinformatics. In the past, a number of methods
have been developed for predicting major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-binding peptides using machine learning techniques.
These methods allow predicting MHC-binding peptides with high accuracy. In this chapter, we describe two machine learning
technique-based methods, nHLAPred and MHC2Pred, developed for predicting MHC binders for class I and class II alleles, respectively.
nHLAPred is a web server developed for predicting binders for 67 MHC class I alleles. This sever has two methods: ANNPred
and ComPred. ComPred allows predicting binders for 67 MHC class I alleles, using the combined method [artificial neural network
(ANN) and quantitative matrix] for 30 alleles and quantitative matrix-based method for 37 alleles. ANNPred allows prediction
of binders for only 30 alleles purely based on the ANN. MHC2Pred is a support vector machine (SVM)-based method for prediction
of promiscuous binders for 42 MHC class II alleles.
