AI system ImmuneAgent accelerates discovery of broadly neutralizing antibodies

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed ImmuneAgent, an AI system designed to discover broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) from human B cell repertoires. This system integrates multimodal reasoning with continual meta-learning and incorporates wet-lab feedback to address challenges like the rarity of bnAbs and the generalization across different viruses. In tests, ImmuneAgent achieved a significant antibody discovery rate and a notable bnAb yield, outperforming existing computational methods. The discovered antibodies demonstrated efficacy in protecting against influenza and identified key cellular and structural determinants of antibody activity, which generalized to new antigens like human metapneumovirus and human papillomavirus.

    Multimodal reasoning for broadly neutralizing antibody discovery from label-free human B cell repertoires across virus families

    arXiv:2610.03160v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Discovering broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) from human natural immune repertoires remains a fundamental challenge in immunology, hindered by: the extreme rarity of bnAb, incomplete understanding of their cellular origins a…
