A high-throughput yeast display approach to profile pathogen proteomes for MHC-II binding

• Curated by eLife

  Evaluation Summary:

  The manuscript builds on previous work to design yeast display libraries representing full viral proteomes with overlapping 15-mer peptides binding to specific HLA-DR alleles, and therefore potentially immunogenic for CD4 T cell responses. The authors use SARS-CoV-2 and dengue viruses as proof of concept and identify a number of potentially immunogenic peptides not predicted by current algorithms. The methods are interesting and promising and will be of interest to a wide range of researchers in immunological and infectious disease studies.

  (This preprint has been reviewed by eLife. We include the public reviews from the reviewers here; the authors also receive private feedback with suggested changes to the manuscript. Reviewer #1 and Reviewer #2 agreed to share their name with the authors.)
