High numbers of PDCD1 (PD-1)-positive T cells andB2Mmutations in microsatellite-unstable colorectal cancer
16 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
DNA mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient cancers accumulate high numbers of coding microsatellite mutations, which lead to the generation of highly immunogenic frameshift peptide (FSP) neoantigens. MMR-deficient cells can grow out to clinically manifest cancers either if they evade immune cell attack or if local T-cells get exhausted. Therefore, a subset of MSI cancer patients responds particularly well to treatment...
