1.The detailed example

csv file: test.csv

  Annotation,HLA,peptide
  NCI-3784,HLA-A01:01,MKRFVQWL
  NCI-3784,HLA-A03:01,MKRFVQWL
  NCI-3784,HLA-B07:02,MKRFVQWL
  NCI-3784,HLA-B07:02,MKRFVQWL
  NCI-3784,HLA-C07:02,MKRFVQWL
  NCI-3784,HLA-C07:02,MKRFVQWL
  NCI-3784,HLA-A01:01,KRFVQWLK
  NCI-3784,HLA-A03:01,KRFVQWLK
  NCI-3784,HLA-B07:02,KRFVQWLK
  NCI-3784,HLA-B07:02,KRFVQWLK

To note , deephlapan only predicts the potential neoantigens within HLA-A,B,C alleles. The blank in the file name is not allowed (e.g. ‘A B C.csv’ should be ‘A_B_C.csv’).

2. The meaning of each parameter

Binding score: the score predicted by the binding model of DeepHLApan, which ranges from 0 to 1 and indicates the probability that peptide binds with HLA allele. It would be more likely to be binders if the binding score closer to 1.

Immunogenicity score : the score predicted by the immunogenicity model of DeepHLApan, which ranges from 0 to 1 and 0.5 is the threshold to select the predicted immunogenic pHLA.
