    Abstract Importance: Determining antigen and epitope specificity is an essential step in the discovery of therapeutic antibodies as well as in the analysis adaptive immune responses to disease or vaccination. Despite extensive efforts, deciphering antigen specificity solely from BCR amino acid sequence remains a challenging task, requiring a combination of experimental and computational approaches. Here, we describe and experimentally validate a simple and straightforward approach for grouping antibodies that share antigen and epitope specificities based on their CDR sequence similarity. This approach allows us to identify the specificities of a large number of antibodies whose antigen targets are unknown, using a small fraction of antibodies with well-annotated binding specificities.

    Abstract Antibodies make up an important and growing class of compounds used for the diagnosis or treatment of disease. While traditional antibody discovery utilized immunization of animals to generate lead compounds, technological innovations have made it possible to search for antibodies targeting a given antigen within the repertoires of B cells in humans. Here we group these innovations into four broad categories: cell sorting allows the collection of cells enriched in specificity to one or more antigens; BCR sequencing can be performed on bulk mRNA, genomic DNA or on paired (heavy-light) mRNA; BCR repertoire analysis generally involves clustering BCRs into specificity groups or more in-depth modeling of antibody-antigen interactions, such as antibody-specific epitope predictions; validation of antibody-antigen interactions requires expression of antibodies, followed by antigen binding assays or epitope mapping. Together with innovations in Deep learning these technologies will contribute to the future discovery of diagnostic and therapeutic antibodies directly from humans.

    Abstract Antibody and TCR modeling are becoming important as more and more sequence data becomes available to the public. One of the pressing questions now is how to use such data to understand adaptive immune responses to disease. Infectious disease is of particular interest because the antigens driving such responses are often known to some extent. Here, we describe tips for gathering data and cleaning it for use in downstream analysis. We present a method for high-throughput structural modeling of antibodies or TCRs using Repertoire Builder and its extensions. AbAdapt is an extension of Repertoire Builder for antibody-antigen docking from antibody and antigen sequences. ImmuneScape is a corresponding extension for TCR-pMHC 3D modeling. Together, these pipelines can help researchers to understand immune responses to infection from a structural point of view.

    Abstract To assess the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the general population, we searched over 64 million heavy chain antibody sequences from healthy unvaccinated, healthy BNT162b2 vaccinated and COVID-19 patient repertoires for sequences similar to 11 previously reported enhancing antibodies. Although the distribution of sequence identities was similar in all three groups of repertoires, the COVID-19 and healthy vaccinated hits were significantly more clonally expanded than healthy unvaccinated hits. Furthermore, among the tested hits, 17 out of 94 from COVID-19 and 9 out of 59 from healthy vaccinated, compared with only 2 out of 96 from healthy unvaccinated, bound to the enhancing epitope. A total of 9 of the 28 epitope-binding antibodies enhanced ACE2 receptor binding to the spike protein. Together, this study revealed that infection enhancing-like antibodies are far more frequent in COVID-19 patients or healthy vaccinated donors than in healthy unvaccinated donors, but a reservoir of potential enhancing antibodies exists in healthy donors that could potentially mature to actual enhancing antibodies upon infection.

Together, this study revealed that enhancing antibodies are far more frequent in COVID-19 patients than in healthy donors, but a reservoir of potential enhancing antibodies exists in healthy donors that could potentially mature to actual enhancing antibodies upon infection.

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 S protein is a major point of interaction between the virus and the human immune system. As a consequence, the S protein is not a static target but undergoes rapid molecular evolution. In order to more fully understand the selection pressure during evolution, we examined residue positions in the S protein that vary greatly across closely related viruses but are conserved in the subset of viruses that infect humans. These "evolutionarily important" residues were not distributed evenly across the S protein but were concentrated in two domains: the N-terminal domain and the receptor-binding domain, both of which play a role in host cell binding in a number of related viruses. In addition to being localized in these two domains, evolutionary importance correlated with structural flexibility and inversely correlated with distance from known or predicted host receptor-binding residues. Finally, we observed a bias in the composition of the amino acids that make up such residues toward more human-like, rather than virus-like, sequence motifs.

    Abstract B cell receptors (BCRs) and T cell receptors (TCRs) make up an essential network of defense molecules that, collectively, can distinguish self from non-self and facilitate destruction of antigen-bearing cells such as pathogens or tumors. The analysis of BCR and TCR repertoires plays an important role in both basic immunology as well as in biotechnology. Because the repertoires are highly diverse, specialized software methods are needed to extract meaningful information from BCR and TCR sequence data. Here, we review recent developments in bioinformatics tools for analysis of BCR and TCR repertoires, with an emphasis on those that incorporate structural features. After describing the recent sequencing technologies for immune receptor repertoires, we survey structural modeling methods for BCR and TCRs, along with methods for clustering such models. We review downstream analyses, including BCR and TCR epitope prediction, antibody-antigen docking and TCR-peptide-MHC Modeling. We also briefly discuss molecular dynamics in this context.
