Prediction of T cell epitopes<br />
➩ T cell epitopes are peptides derived from the processing of proteins that<br />
are able to activate T cells in a detectable manner<br />
APC<br />
Mechanisms that needs to be modeled<br />
• Antigen processing. Whether a peptide is<br />
processed (released) from a protein in vivo<br />
• Binding of the peptide to the MHC<br />
molecule<br />
• Recognition of the peptide-MHC by the<br />
TCR with enough affinity.<br />
