Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Neoantigens derived from tumour-specific mutations are critical targets for T-cell recognition, yet the relationship between neoantigen clonality and immune response in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains poorly understood. We hypothesised that clonal neoantigens, being present in all tumour cells, would drive T-cell exhaustion through persistent antigen exposure. METHODS: We...
