Structural-docking-based binding between the adaptive immune receptors (AIRs), including T cell receptor (TCR) and B cell receptor (BCR), and the antigens is one of the most fundamental processes in adaptive immunity. However, current methods for predicting AIR-antigen binding largely rely on sequence-derived features of AIR. In this study, we present a deep-learning framework, termed DeepAIR, for the accurate prediction of AIR-antigen binding by integrating both sequence-derived and structure-derived features of AIRs. DeepAIR consists of three feature encoders, including a trainable-embedding-layer-based gene encoder, a transformer-based sequence encoder, and a pre-trained AlphaFold2-based structure encoder. DeepAIR deploys a gating-based attention mechanism to extract important features from the three encoders, and a tensor fusion mechanism to integrate obtained features for multiple tasks, including the prediction of AIR-antigen binding affinity, AIR-antigen binding reactivity, and the classification of the immune repertoire. We systematically evaluated the performance of DeepAIR on multiple datasets. DeepAIR shows outstanding prediction performance in terms of AUC (area under the ROC curve) in predicting the binding reactivity to various antigens, as well as the classification of immune repertoire for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We anticipate that DeepAIR can serve as a useful tool for characterizing and profiling antigen-binding AIRs, thereby informing the design of personalized immunotherapy.
