Abstract excerpt
Cancer cells harbor somatic mutations that generate novel amino acid sequences that are absent in the self-proteome. These mutation-derived cancer-specific peptides are defined as "neo-peptides". Neo-peptides eliciting immune responses, i.e. immunogenic neo-peptides, are defined as "neo-epitopes". Given their relevance to cancer immunotherapy, we conducted a meta-analysis to examine how experimental evidence...
