The ability to predict CR (on-target and off-target toxicities) may help in the early selection of safer therapeutically relevant target antigens.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We developed a methodology for the calculation of quantitative CR for any defined peptide epitope. Using this approach, we performed assessment of 4 groups of 283 currently known human MHC-class-I epitopes including differentiation antigens, overexpressed proteins, cancer-testis antigens and mutations displayed by tumor cells. In addition, 89 epitopes originating from viral sources were investigated. The natural occurrence of these epitopes in human tissues was assessed based on proteomics abundance data, while the probability of their presentation by MHC-class-I molecules was modelled by the method of Ke\u015fmir et al. which combines proteasomal cleavage, TAP affinity and MHC-binding predictions. The results of these analyses for many previously defined peptides are presented as CR indices and tissue profiles. The methodology thus allows for quantitative comparisons of epitopes and is suggested to be suited for the assessment of epitopes of candidate antigens in an early stage of development of adoptive immunotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and Implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our method is implemented as a Java program, with curated datasets stored in a MySQL database. It predicts all naturally possible self-antigens for a given sequence of a therapeutic antigen (or epitope) and after filtering for predicted immunogenicity outputs results as an index and profile of CR to the self-antigens in 22 human tissues. The program is implemented as part of the iCrossR webserver, which is publicly available at http:\/\/webclu.bio.wzw.tum.de\/icrossr\/.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btw567","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,11]],"date-time":"2016-09-11T00:28:40Z","timestamp":1473553720000},"page":"104-111","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Assessment of cancer and virus antigens for cross-reactivity in human tissues"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Victor","family":"Jaravine","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics, Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan, Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, Freising, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silke","family":"Raffegerst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medigene Immunotherapies GmbH, Martinsried\/Planegg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dolores J","family":"Schendel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medigene Immunotherapies GmbH, Martinsried\/Planegg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dmitrij","family":"Frishman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics, Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan, Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, Freising, Germany"},{"name":"Helmholtz Center Munich - German Research Center for Environmental Health (GmbH), Institute of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Neuherberg, Germany"},{"name":"St Petersburg State Polytechnic University, St Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020204204087600_btw567-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2916","DOI":"10.1214\/10-AOS799","article-title":"Kernel density estimation via diffusion","volume":"38","author":"Botev","year":"2010","journal-title":"Ann.
