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 />
