CAPTURING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HUMORAL IMMUNITY IN THE NORMAL AND TUMOR ENVIRONMENTS FROM REPERTOIRE-SEQ OF B-CELL RECEPTORS USING SUPERVISED MACHINE LEARNING

Capturing the differences between humoral immunity in the normal and tumor environments from repertoire-seq of B-cell receptors using supervised machine learning

Abstract Background The recent success of immunotherapy in treating tumors has attracted increasing interest in research related to the adaptive immune system in the tumor microenvironment.Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technology enabled the sequencing of whole T-cell receptors (TCRs) and B-cell receptors (BCRs)/immunoglobulins (Igs
