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.

Improving T Cell Receptor On-Target Specificity via Structure-Guided Design

TL;DR: It is shown that even peptide-targeted mutations in the TCR can introduce new reactivities against peptides that bear similarity to the original target, and a novel structure-guided approach for enhancing TCR specificity independent of affinity is explored.

Structure of a TCR-Mimic Antibody with Target Predicts Pharmacogenetics.

TL;DR: A crystal structure is shown in a crystal structure that ESK1 Fab binds to RMF/HLA-A*02:01 in a mode different from that of TCRs, which demonstrates how protein structure information can contribute to personalized immunotherapy.

CBFB-MYH11 fusion neoantigen enables T cell recognition and killing of acute myeloid leukemia.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the CBFB-MYH11 fusion neoantigen is naturally presented on AML blasts and enables T cell recognition and killing of AML and demonstrate that targeting neoantigens has clinical relevance even in low-mutational frequency cancers like fusion-driven AML.

Specificity of bispecific T cell receptors and antibodies targeting peptide-HLA

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that affinity-enhanced TCRs engage pHLA using a comparatively broad and balanced energetic footprint, with interactions distributed over several HLA and peptide side chains, and TCR-mimic antibodies tended to exhibit binding modes focused more toward hot spots on the HLA surface and exhibited a greater degree of crossreactivity.
