Novel single-cell based technologies hold the promise of matching T cell receptor (TCR) sequences with their cognate peptide-MHC recognition motif in a high-throughput manner. Parallel capture of TCR transcripts and peptide-MHC is enabled through the use of reagents labeled with DNA barcodes. However, analysis and annotation of such single-cell sequencing (SCseq) data is challenged by dropout, random noise, and other technical artifacts that must be carefully handled in the downstream processing steps. We here propose a rational, data-driven method termed ATRAP (Accurate T cell Receptor Antigen Paring) to deal with these challenges, filtering away likely artifacts, and enable the generation of large sets of TCR-pMHC sequence data with a high degree of specificity and sensitivity, thus outputting the most likely pMHC target per T cell. We have validated this approach across 10 different virus-specific T cell responses in 16 healthy donors. Across these samples we have identified up to 1494 high-confident TCR-pMHC pairs derived from 4135 single-cells.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
