Rezultaty

Documents, reports (11)

Data management plan in place

Report on the creation of the initial version of the project's data management plan, describing the intended data to be generated, the storage and handling of this data with an eye to IP and ethics constraints, and it's long-term archival and/or (where appropriate and possible) public dissemination approach.

Report on epitopes and antigens identified for MTB and BCG

Description of the performance of a miniaturized and automated procedure for immunopeptidomics sample preparation, including MHC Class I and II peptide complex immunoprecipitation in 96-wells using a positive pressure liquid handling device.

Report on the application of SaaS on immunopeptidomics results

Description of the utility of applying the Search All, Select Subset statistical approach for false discovery rate estimation on (small) subsets of identifications coming from mass spectrometry based proteomics approaches, on immunopeptidomics data sets.

Report on a miniaturized and (semi-)automated pipeline for immunopeptidomics sample preparation

Description of the performance of a miniaturized and automated procedure for immunopeptidomics sample preparation, including MHC Class I and II peptide complex immunoprecipitation in 96-wells using a positive pressure liquid handling device.

Dissemination and exploitation plan

The plan describes the planned measures to maximize the impact of the project, including the dissemination and exploitation measures that are planned, and the target group(s) addressed. Regarding communication measures and public engagement strategy, the aim is to inform and reach out to society and show the activities performed, and the use and the benefits the project will have for citizens.

Report on improved immunopeptide separation ionization and fragmentation

Assessment of peptide TMT derivatization to improve ionization and fragmentation of MHC Class I and II immunopeptides along with EThcD fragmentation. Evaluation of peptide pre-fractionation to reduce sample complexity, and novel nanoLC columns that should increase the number of identified immunopeptides.

Policy briefing 1

At the end of the 1st reporting period, a report (policy briefing) will be shared with the policy makers.

Report on a new version of MS²Rescore with an EThcD-TMT model and DeepLC

Description of a new version of the MSRescore immunopeptidomics mass spectrometry data analysis algorithm, implementing DeepLC retention time prediction, and an updated prediction algorithm for the prediction of fragmentation spectra for peptides carrying TMT tags, and fragmented using the EThcD method.

Setup of a project website and logo

Report on the availability of a project website and a logo for the project.

Report on immuno-ionbot, a version of ionbot capable of performing open modification searches on immunopeptidomics data

Description of an updated verison of the ionbot algorithm, which will be fitted with the capability to handle non-tryptic peptides (including immunopeptides), alongside the use of immunopeptide fragmentation and retention time predictions coming from the MS²PIP and DeepLC predictors, respectively.

IP management plan in place

Report on the IP management plan as described in the project's Grant Agreement, including conflict resolution approaches.
