Vaccine-elicited T cell responses can contribute to immune protection against emerging infectious disease risks such as antimicrobials-resistant (AMR) microbial pathogens and viruses with pandemic potential, but rapidly identifying appropriate targets for T cell priming vaccines remains challenging. Mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of peptides presented on major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) can identify potential targets for protective T cell responses in a proteome-wide manner. However, pathogen-derived peptides are outnumbered by self peptides in the MHC repertoire and may be missed in untargeted MS analyses. Here we present a novel approach, termed PathMHC, that uses computational analysis of untargeted MS data followed by targeted MS to discover novel pathogen-derived MHC peptides more efficiently than untargeted methods alone. We applied this workflow to identify MHC peptides derived from multiple microbes, including potential vaccine targets presented on MHC-I by human dendritic cells infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. PathMHC will facilitate antigen discovery campaigns for vaccine development.
