Abstract: Motivation: Lack of a dedicated integrated pipeline for neoantigen discovery in mice hinders cancer immunotherapy research. Novel sequential approaches through recurrent neural networks can improve the accuracy of T-cell epitope immunogenity predictions in mice. Results: We have developed a web server tool (NAP-CNB), based on recurrent neural networks, able to predict putative neoantigens of a tumor. The developed software is able to estimate H-2 peptide ligands with an AUC of 0.95. As a proof-of-concept, we used the B16 melanoma model to test the predictive capabilities of the system and we report its putative neoantigens. Copy rights belong to original authors.
