Abstract excerpt
Cancer cells and pathogens can evade T cell receptors (TCRs) via mutations in immunogenic epitopes. TCR cross-reactivity (i.e., recognition of multiple epitopes with sequence similarities) can counteract such escape but may cause severe side effects in cell-based immunotherapies through targeting self-antigens. To predict the effect of epitope point mutations on T cell functionality, we here present the random...
