What you can do:

Predicts binding of peptides to a number of different HLA alleles using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and weight matrices.

Highlights:

NetMHC-3.0 is trained on a large number of quantitative peptide data using both affinity data from the Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Resource (IEDB) and elution data from SYFPEITHI.
The method generates high-accuracy predictions of major histocompatibility complex (MHC): peptide binding.
The predictions are based on artificial neural networks trained on data from 55 MHC alleles (43 Human and 12 non-human), and position-specific scoring matrices (PSSMs) for additional 67 HLA alleles.
As only the MHC class I prediction server is available, predictions are possible for peptides of length 8-11 for all 122 alleles.
Artificial neural network predictions are given as actual IC(50) values whereas PSSM predictions are given as a log-odds likelihood scores.
The output is optionally available as download for easy post-processing.
The training method underlying the server is the best available, and has been used to predict possible MHC-binding peptides in a series of pathogen viral proteomes including SARS, Influenza and HIV, resulting in an average of 75-80% confirmed MHC binders.
Here, the performance is further validated and benchmarked using a large set of newly published affinity data, non-redundant to the training set.
