AgForce Enables Antigen-conditioned Generative Antibody Design

arXiv:2605. 21610v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Antibody design methods condition on antigen structure to generate complementarity-determining regions (CDR), yet a systematic evaluation of baseline methods reveals that they largely ignore the antigen input.

Transformer-Based Active Learning for Data-Efficient Vaccine Epitope Selection in PRRS

arXiv:2606. 28659v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-fidelity molecular docking simulations can produce biologically relevant estimates of epitope-receptor binding affinity but are computationally expensive and therefore limit the number of candidates that can be screened for vaccine design.

Antigen-specific Antibody Multi-modal Foundation Model for Functional Antibody Design

Antibodies are essential proteins that play a central role in immune recognition by binding specific antigen molecules. Although recent protein language models have enabled progress in single-chain protein modeling and generation, they often fall short in antigen-specific antibody design, where effective modeling requires explicit pairing between antibody and antigen, particularly at the epitope level.

SubQuad: Near-Quadratic-Free Structure Inference with Distribution-Balanced Objectives in Adaptive Receptor framework

arXiv:2602. 17330v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Comparative analysis of adaptive immune repertoires at population scale is hampered by two practical bottlenecks: the near-quadratic cost of pairwise affinity evaluations and dataset imbalances that obscure clinically important minority clonotypes.

SwiftRepertoire: Few-Shot Immune-Signature Synthesis via Dynamic Kernel Codes

arXiv:2602. 01051v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Repertoire-level analysis of T cell receptors offers a biologically grounded signal for disease detection and immune monitoring, yet practical deployment is impeded by label sparsity, cohort heterogeneity, and the computational burden of adapting large encoders to new tasks.
