• Abstract: Recent advances in immunomics have shown that T-cell receptor (TCR) signatures can accurately predict active or recent infection by leveraging the high specificity of TCR binding to disease antigens. However, the extreme diversity of the adaptive immune repertoire presents challenges in reliably identifying disease-specific TCRs. Population genetics and sequencing depth can also have strong systematic effects on repertoires, which requires careful consideration when developing diagnostic models. We present an Adaptive Immune Repertoire-Invariant Variational Autoencoder (AIRIVA), a generative model that learns a low-dimensional, interpretable, and compositional representation of TCR repertoires to disentangle such systematic effects in repertoires. We apply AIRIVA to two infectious disease case-studies: COVID-19 (natural infection and vaccination) and the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), and empirically show that we can disentangle the individual disease signals. We further demonstrate AIRIVA's capability to: learn from unlabelled samples; generate in-silico TCR repertoires by intervening on the latent factors; and identify disease-associated TCRs validated using TCR annotations from external assay data.

  We introduce a method to infer the causal effects of T cell receptor sequences on patient outcomes. Our approach corrects for unobserved confounders, such as a patient's environment and life history. As a demonstration, we use it to analyze the effects of TCRs on COVID-19 severity.

  T-cell receptors (TCRs) play a crucial role in the immune system by recognizing and binding to specific antigens presented by infected or cancerous cells. Language models, such as auto-regressive transformers, offer a powerful solution by learning the probability distributions of TCR repertoires. We introduce TCR-GPT, a probabilistic model built on a decoder-only transformer architecture, designed to uncover and replicate sequence patterns in TCR repertoires.

  We propose a Masked Language Model (MLM) to overcome limitations in model generalization. Specifically, we randomly masked sequence segments and train tcrLM to infer the masked segment, thereby extract expressive feature from TCR sequences. Our extensive experimental results demonstrate that tcrLM achieved AUC values of 0.937 and 0.933 on independent test sets and external validation sets.
