DESCRIPTION

In the header of the out is indicated which prediction method and HLA allele were selected, as well as the corresponding two threshold values defining high binding peptides, and weak binding peptides. For Artificial neural network prediction high binding peptides have an IC50 value below 50 nM, and weak binding peptides an IC50 values below 500 nM. For weight matrix prediction high binding peptides have a prediction score greater than the 0.1% precentile score value of 1.000.000 random natural peptides, and weak binding peptides a score value above the 1% percentile score of 1.000.000 random natural peptides.

In the header is a link to an .xls file which contains the output in a tab seperated text file. For the format of this file see: Description of xls file.

For Artificial Neural network (ANN) prediction the output consists of 6 columns. For weight matrix predictions the output consists of 5 columns:

Residue number.

Peptide sequence (9mer)

Prediction score (called 1-log50K(aff) for ANN predictions)

Affinity as IC50 value in nM (only for ANN predictions)

Bind Level (WB for weak binder, SB for strong binder)

Sequence name

The predictions for each protein are summarized with a line stating the number of high and weak binding peptides identified.

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

Using this fasta input:

Description of xls file

This file always contains the predicted peptides in the order they appeared in the input file. The output data for each peptide will be displayed on a single line with predictions for each of the selected alleles in different columns.

The above FASTA input will give the following output when opened in Microsoft Excel:

Column 1: The name of the protein
Column 2: The position of the peptide within the full sequence
Column 3: The sequence of the subpeptide for which the prediction is made
Column 4 to
Column N: The predicted affinity of the peptide to the MHC expressed by each of the chosen alleles
Column N+1: An arbitrary mean score over all alleles. Useful for sorting peptides that binds to more than one allele.
