AbDev is a comprehensive predictive model package designed for the analysis of 12 critical biophysical properties of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). This tool combines a deep learning-based tool, DeepSP, and machine learning techniques to provide insights based on the variable regions sequences of mAbs.
To utilize AbDev effectively, follow the guidelines outlined below:
- Prepare a CSV File: Begin by preparing a CSV file named "Sequence_Info.csv" using the format provided in this guide as a reference. This file should contain the variable regions sequences of the mAbs you wish to analyze.
- Run the DeepSP Notebook: Use the "DeepSP.ipynb" notebook file to execute DeepSP, a deep learning-based tool developed by our group. DeepSP is designed to generate 30 spatial properties of mAbs based on their sequences.
- Upon completion, you will obtain a "SAPSCM.csv" file, which contains the spatial properties needed for further analysis.
- Run the AbDev Notebook: Next, execute the "AbDev.ipynb" notebook file. This step will process the features generated in the previous step and produce the "Prediction_Result.csv" file. This file includes predictions for 12 biophysical properties of the analyzed mAbs. Or you can run train.py to obtain the results directly.
