Viral Molecular Mimicry Influences the Antitumor Immune Response in Murine and Human Melanoma
2020-09-10
Abstract excerpt
Molecular mimicry is known to be one of the leading mechanisms by which infectious agents may induce autoimmunity. However, whether a similar mechanism triggers anti-tumor immune response is unexplored, and the role of anti-viral T-cells infiltrating the tumor has remained anecdotal. To address this question, we first developed a bioinformatic tool to identify tumor peptides with high similarity to viral epitopes....
