Beyond eplet counts: machine learning integration of evolutionary distance and electrostatic divergence improves prediction of HLA-DQ donor-specific antibody formation after kidney transplantation

Ofek Kirshenboim, Yoram Louzoun

This study improves prediction of HLA-DQ donor-specific antibody formation using machine learning that combines eplet counts with genetic and electrostatic distance metrics, achieving higher accuracy than existing methods.
