NetMHC 2.1 Server NetMHC 2.1 server predicts binding of peptides to a number of different HLA alleles using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and weight matrices. View the version history of this server. All the previous versions are available on line, for comparison and reference. Predictions can be obtained for 12 supertypes, and 120 individual alleles using ANNs and weight matrices (ungapped HMMs). ANNs have been trained for 16 different alleles representing 11 HLA supertypes. Weight matrices are generated using a Gibbs sampler approach with data from public databases. For ANN prediction values are given in nM IC50 values. For weight matrices prediction values are given as a fitness score, so that a high fitness score correlates to strong binding. For both ANN and weight matrix predictions strong and weak binding peptides are indicated in the output. In the selection window for HLA alleles, the recommended allele for each HLA supertype is indicated. The project is a collaboration between CBS and IMMI.

PORTABLE VERSION

Would you prefer to run NetMHC at your own site? NetMHC 2.2 is available as a stand-alone software package, with the same functionality as the service above. Ready-to-ship packages exist for the most common UNIX platforms. There is a download page for academic users; other users are requested to contact CBS Software Package Manager at software@cbs.dtu.dk.
