Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations can generate neoantigens that are presented on MHC molecules and drive effective T cells responses against cancer. Mutation load in cancer patients predicts response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Additionally, vaccination targeting neoantigens controls established tumor growth in preclinical models. These recent findings led to a renewed interest in the field of cancer vaccines and the...
