  • NetChop : A web server to predict cellular proteolysis (Immuno- and constitutive proteasome, TAP).
  • NetMHC and NetMHCpan : Web servers to predict peptide binding to MHC molecules (several alleles and supertypes are available).
  • CD8 T cell immunogenicity: This tool uses amino acid properties as well as their position within the peptide to predict the immunogenicity of a class I peptide MHC (pMHC) complex.
