Abstract excerpt
The exposure of cancer neoantigens to the patient's immune system by the HLA system sustains immune surveillance and shapes tumour clonal evolution. In acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), the mutation of Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) at exon 12 represents a driver mutation, raising a set of highly immunogenic peptides. Whereas the phenomenon of HLA loss is a mechanism of immune escape broadly described in allogeneic...
