J Exp Med 1997, 185:367-371. Here, recombinant MHC class I molecules were refolded using a random peptide library. The bound peptides were subsequently identified in a pool-sequencing approach. The motif thus obtained, compared to that obtained from natural sources, differed at the carboxyl terminus - suggesting that molecules other than MHC class I were involved in the definition of simple natural motifs that are identified by pool sequencing.

An 'evolutionary algorithm' was used to align known MHC-class-II binding sequences, leading to a matrix representation of the motif and to a tentative identification of the core binding sequences. These core sequences were subsequently used to train an ANN.

This provides a comparison of predictions generated using simple natural motifs (pool sequencing), extended motifs, statistical matrices and ANNs. It shows that the statistical matrix is superior in eliminating false negatives (i.e. it is a better negative-predictive value) and that the ANN is superior in eliminating false positives (i.e. it is a better positive-predictive value).
