HLArestrictor 1.1 Server

HLArestrictor is a tool for patient-specific predictions of HLA restriction elements and optimal epitopes within peptides. Given the high-resolution (i.e. 4-digit) HLA typing of the individual, HLArestrictor predicts all 8-11mer peptide-binders within one or more larger peptides and provides an overview of the predicted HLA restrictions and minimal epitopes.

Note, the HLA-restrictor 1.1 has been updated to include the newest MHC allele releases from the IMGT/HLA and IPD-MHC databases (for non-human primates and pig). These updates include adaptation of the new nomenclature for HLA and Rhesus macaque (Mamu) alleles. The update also includes a shift from NetMHCpan-2.2 to the more recent NetMHCpan-2.3 method for peptide MHC binding predictions.

The project is a collaboration between CBS, and IMMI

Instructions Output format Article abstract

SUBMISSION

Paste a single sequence or several sequences in FASTA format into the field below:

Submit a file in FASTA format directly from your local disk:

Select allele subtype (species)

or type host allele names (ie HLA-A01:01) separated by commas. . 

For list of allowed allele names click here List of MHC allele names.

Peptide length 

Sort mode: 

Sort method

Sort predictions based on %rank score. Prediction are labeled Weak binder and Strong binder according to the thresholds defined below. Peptides are labeled Combined binder if %rank is less than the %rank weak binders threshold and the IC50 value (if defined) is stronger than the affinity weak binding threshold.

Threshold for strong binder (% Rank)  Threshold for strong binder (IC50) 
Threshold for weak binder (% Rank)    Threshold for weak binder (IC50)   

Number of predictions to show per peptide (0:report down to 2 x weak-binding cutoff.  

Show non-binders with a score of factor*weak binding threshold, 1 means no non-binders are shown.  

Restrictions:
At most 5000 sequences per submission; each sequence not more than 20,000 amino acids and not less than 8 amino acids. Max 20 MHC alleles per submission.

Confidentiality:
The sequences are kept confidential and will be deleted after processing.
