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.

T cell receptor fingerprinting enables in-depth characterization of the interactions governing recognition of peptide-MHC complexes.

TL;DR: The TCR fingerprints of 16 different TCRs were identified and used to predict and validate cross-recognized peptides from the human proteome, demonstrating the value of this strategy for understanding T-cell interactions and assessing potential cross- Recognition before selection of T CRs for clinical development.

Degenerate T-cell recognition of peptides on MHC molecules creates large holes in the T-cell repertoire.

TL;DR: Comparing the presented human and bacterial or viral peptides on a large number of MHC molecules suggests that T-cells are expected to remain tolerant for a large fraction of the presented nonself peptides, which provides an explanation for the “holes in the T-cell repertoire”.

Mutation-Derived Neoantigens for Cancer Immunotherapy.

TL;DR: The spectrum of mutations in multiple indications is reviewed, variations in indication sub-types are shown, and the intra- and inter-indication prevalence of re-occurring mutation neoantigens that could be used for warehouse vaccines and ACT are examined.
