Supplementary material

Here, you will find the data set used for training and testing, as well as the T cell epitope data used for evalaution of the NetMHCIIpan-3.2 method.


Training data

The training binding data are partitioned in 5 files to be used for cross-validation. For instance does the train1 file contain training data, and test1 file test data for the first cross-validation partitioning. It is critical that this data partitioning is maintained.

The format for each of the files is

AAAGAEAGKATTEEQ 0.190842        DRB1_0101
AAAGAEAGKATTEEQ 0.006301        DRB1_0301
AAAGAEAGKATTEEQ 0.066851        DRB1_0401
AAAGAEAGKATTEEQ 0.006344        DRB1_0405
AAAGAEAGKATTEEQ 0.035130        DRB1_0701
AAAGAEAGKATTEEQ 0.006288        DRB1_0802
AAAGAEAGKATTEEQ 0.176268        DRB1_0901
AAAGAEAGKATTEEQ 0.042555        DRB1_1101
AAAGAEAGKATTEEQ 0.114855        DRB1_1302
AAAGAEAGKATTEEQ 0.006377        DRB1_1501

where the first column gives the peptide, the second column the log50k transformed binding affinity (i.e. 1 - log50k( aff nM)), and the last column the class II allele.

When classifying the peptides into binders and non-binders for calculation of the AUC values for instance, a threshold of 500 nM is used. This means that peptides with log50k transformed binding affinity values greater than 0.426 are classified as binders.

T cell evaluation data

T cell evalaution data
