Fig. 1: Development of a computational tool to assess and mitigate polyreactivity.
From: An in silico method to assess antibody fragment polyreactivity
Starting from a large, naïve synthetic nanobody library, pools of nanobodies with low and high polyreactivity were isolated. Machine learning models were trained on deep sequencing data from these pools to learn sequence features of low and high polyreactive nanobodies. These algorithms were incorporated into software that quantitatively predicts polyreactivity levels and recommends substitutions that reduce it. Created with BioRender.com.
