Title: Immunogen identification and categorisation
Inventor: ALEXANDER MUIK
IPC: G16B40/30
Filed: 2021-05-04
Abstract: A method of selecting variants of a reference immunogen for preparing an immunogenic composition (vaccine). The reference immunogen is a wild-type immunogen. A language model is used to evaluate data from a plurality of variants and the reference immunogen. A characteristic vector derived from an output feature map of a hidden layer of the language model is extracted. Dimension reduction is performed on each vector to generate a plurality of points in a lower dimensional space, each point associated with a different variant. Clusters of variants are identified. For each cluster a measure of distance to the reference immunogen is generated. A score is generated for each variant in the cluster based partly on the generated distance for that cluster. A variant of the reference immunogen is selected, based partly on the generated scores. The score can be based on a generated epitope score. An ensemble of language models can be used. The data can represent a protein sequence of the variant. The language model can be a recurrent neural network or a transformer-based language model. The measure of distance can be L1 distances. Further aspects are immunogenic compositions and a method of performing trend analysis using the above method.
