OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC molecules) are a cornerstone of the adaptive immune system. They present antigens to T-cells for surveillance.
While we have a reasonably large number of experimentally determined three-dimensional structures of MHC molecules, there is low diversity in the dataset and it represents a very small fraction of the universe of potential complexes.
Despite this caveat, we can discern patterns within antigen presentation/recognition in the bulk data. If we benchmark these methods robustly, we can potentially extend using synthetic data from machine learning prediction methods such as AlphaFold.
