Abstract
This disclosure relates to systems and methods that identify, predict, and rank immunogenic T-cell epitopes. In particular, this disclosure identifies epitopes that arose from disease-associated mutations, wherein the epitopes are predicted to elicit immune response from T cells. Specifically, this disclosure simultaneously considers peptide-level information, including MHC Class I and II presentation, helper and cytotoxic T cell response and sample-level information, including mutation clonality and MHC allele dosage. In some embodiment, the systems and methods are used for personalized treatment of cancers.
