Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
