Advancing risk stratification in kidney transplantation: integrating HLA-derived T-cell epitope and B-cell epitope matching algorithms for enhanced predictive accuracy of HLA compa... by Matthias Niemann, Matthias Niemann, Benedict M. Matern, Benedict M. Matern, Gaurav Gupta, Bekir Tanriover, Fabian Halleck, Klemens Budde, Eric Spierings, Eric Spierings

“…Several algorithms of molecular compatibility have been suggested, each focusing on a specific aspect of epitope immunogenicity.MethodsConsidering reported death-censored graft survival in the SRTR dataset, we evaluated four models of molecular compatibility: antibody-verified Eplets, Snow, PIRCHE-II and amino acid matching. We have statistically evaluated their co-dependency and synergistic effects between models systematically on 400,935 kidney transplantations using Cox proportional hazards and XGBoost models.ResultsMultivariable models of histocompatibility generally outperformed univariable predictors, with a combined model of HLA-A, -B, -DR matching, Snow and PIRCHE-II yielding highest AUC in XGBoost and lowest BIC in Cox models. …”
