Genomic and transcriptomic features of response to anti-pd-1 therapy in metastatic melanoma

TL;DR: It is found that overall high mutational loads associate with improved survival, and tumors from responding patients are enriched for mutations in the DNA repair gene BRCA2, suggesting that attenuating the biological processes that underlie IPRES may improve anti-PD-1 response in melanoma and other cancer types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causes, consequences, and reversal of immune system aging

TL;DR: The effects of aging on the immune system are manifest at multiple levels that include reduced production of B and T cells in bone marrow and thymus and diminished function of mature lymphocytes in secondary lymphoid tissues, and elderly individuals do not respond to immune challenge as robustly as the young.

Key Parameters of Tumor Epitope Immunogenicity Revealed Through a Consortium Approach Improve Neoantigen Prediction

Daniel K. Wells, +149 more

TL;DR: A model of tumor epitope immunogenicity was developed that filtered out 98% of non-immunogenic peptides with a precision above 0.70 and was validated in an independent cohort of 310 epitopes prioritized from tumor sequencing data and assessed for T cell binding.
