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.

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 .

A ras-Mutated Peptide Targeted by CTL Infiltrating a Human Melanoma Lesion

TL;DR: Data show that oncogenic protein mutations can create shared tumor-specific CTL epitopes, efficiently presented by tumor cells, and that screening for oncogene-transfected COS cell recognition by TIL (from tumors containing mutations) is a powerful approach for the identification of these epitopes.

Recognition of human gastrointestinal cancer neoantigens by circulating PD-1+ lymphocytes

TL;DR: The existence of circulating T cells targeting neoantigens in GI cancer patients is demonstrated and an approach to generate enriched populations of personalized neoantigen-specific lymphocytes and isolate TCRs that could be exploited therapeutically to treat cancer is provided.

Synthetic Immunology: Hacking Immune Cells to Expand Their Therapeutic Capabilities

TL;DR: The current state of engineered immune cell therapeutics and their unique capabilities compared to small molecules and biologics are reviewed and a long-term vision for the use of synthetic biology to engineer immune cells as a general sensor-response platform to precisely detect disease, to remodel disease microenvironments, and to treat a potentially wide range of challenging diseases is given.

Neoantigen quality, not quantity

TL;DR: Prioritizing expressed clonal neoantigens in genes required for cancer cell survival may reduce the likelihood of resistance to neoantigen therapies.
