Antigen presentation in cancer: insights into tumour immunogenicity and immune evasion

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the tumour-derived factors modulating DC function, and summarize evidence of immune evasion by means of quantitative modulation or qualitative alteration of the antigen repertoire presented on tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noncoding regions are the main source of targetable tumor-specific antigens

TL;DR: The authors validated the immunogenicity and efficacy of TSA vaccination for select antigens in mouse models of cancer and demonstrated that the strength of antitumor responses after TSA vaccination was influenced by two parameters that can be estimated in humans and could serve for TSA prioritization in clinical studies.

Current Perspectives in Cancer Immunotherapy.

TL;DR: The current immunotherapeutic approaches against cancer, including immune checkpoint blockade with an emphasis on anti-PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies are discussed, as well as on drugs that either have been FDA-approved or are under clinical investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neoantigen Vaccine Delivery for Personalized Anticancer Immunotherapy

TL;DR: Current delivery approaches, including direct injection, ex vivo-pulsed dendritic cell vaccination, and biomaterial-assisted vaccination for enhancing the efficiency of neoantigen vaccines are discussed and a perspective on future directions is presented.

Oncology Meets Immunology: The Cancer-Immunity Cycle

TL;DR: Emerging clinical data suggest that cancer immunotherapy is likely to become a key part of the clinical management of cancer and may be more effective in combination with agents that target other steps of the cycle.

Neoantigens in cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: Observations indicate that neoantigen load may form a biomarker in cancer immunotherapy and provide an incentive for the development of novel therapeutic approaches that selectively enhance T cell reactivity against this class of antigens.

The future of immune checkpoint therapy

TL;DR: The way forward for this class of novel agents lies in the ability to understand human immune responses in the tumor microenvironment, which will provide valuable information regarding the dynamic nature of the immune response and regulation of additional pathways that will need to be targeted through combination therapies to provide survival benefit for greater numbers of patients.
