The opportunities and challenges involved in the identification of suitable public neoantigen targets and the development of therapeutic agents targeting them are reviewed.
Abstract
Several current immunotherapy approaches target private neoantigens derived from mutations that are unique to individual patients’ tumors. However, immunotherapeutic agents can also be developed against public neoantigens derived from recurrent mutations in cancer driver genes. The latter approaches target proteins that are indispensable for tumor growth, and each therapeutic agent can be applied to numerous patients. Here we review the opportunities and challenges involved in the identification of suitable public neoantigen targets and the development of therapeutic agents targeting them. Zhou and colleagues discuss the opportunities and challenges in targeting public neoantigens for cancer immunotherapy.

Neoantigens: promising targets for cancer therapy

TL;DR: Neoantigens are newly formed antigens generated by tumor cells as a result of various tumor-specific alterations, such as genomic mutation, dysregulated RNA splicing, disordered post-translational modification, and integrated viral open reading frames as mentioned in this paper .

Personal neoantigen vaccines induce persistent memory T cell responses and epitope spreading in patients with melanoma

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the long-term effects of personal neoantigen vaccines and found that they can induce durable and specific memory T cell clones that have cytotoxic gene signatures and can diversify to include non-vaccine specificities.
