Targeting public neoantigens for cancer immunotherapy.

TLDR
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.

Cancer Therapy With TCR-Engineered T Cells: Current Strategies, Challenges, and Prospects

TL;DR: The differing mechanisms of T cell antigen recognition and signal transduction mediated through CARs and TCRs are described and both classical and emerging pre-clinical strategies for antigen-specific TCR discovery, enhancement, and validation are discussed.

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 .

Translating recent advances in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia to the clinic

TL;DR: In this review, Bewersdorf and Abdel-Wahab discuss the development of promising new molecular targeted approaches for AML, including menin inhibition, novel IDH1/2 inhibitors, and preclinical means to target TET2, ASXL1, and RNA splicing factor mutations.

Neoantigen screening identifies broad TP53 mutant immunogenicity in patients with epithelial cancers

TL;DR: A novel strategy was developed to systematically and comprehensively analyze intratumoral T cell responses to defined TP53 hot spot mutations independent of other tumor mutations in 133 new patients with multiple tumor types, to translate cells or their TCR genes into broadly applicable adoptive cellular therapies for common epithelial malignancies.

Mass spectrometry-based identification of MHC-bound peptides for immunopeptidomics.

TL;DR: A robust protocol for the identification of MHC-bound peptides from cell lines and tissues, using nano-ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (nUPLC–MS/MS) and recent improvements in methods for isolation and characterization of these peptides are described.

Antigen cross-presentation and T-cell cross-priming in cancer immunology and immunotherapy.

TL;DR: Enhancement and exploitation of T-cell cross-priming by cDC1s offer opportunities for improved cancer immunotherapy, including in vivo targeting of tumor antigens to internalizing receptors on c DC1s and strategies to increase their numbers, activation and priming capacity within tumors and tumor-draining lymph nodes.

Cytotoxic CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, generated by mutant p21-ras (12Val) peptide vaccination of a patient, recognize 12Val-dependent nested epitopes present within the vaccine peptide and kill autologous tumour cells carrying this mutation.

TL;DR: Data demonstrate that peptide vaccination with a single mutant p21‐ras‐derived peptide induces CD4+ and CD8+ CTL specific for nested epitopes, including the Gly → Val substitution at codon 12, and that both these T‐cell sub‐sets specifically recognize tumour cells harbouring the corresponding K‐ras mutation.
