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.

Understanding the Spatial Topology of Artificial Immunological Synapses Assembled in T Cell-Redirecting Strategies: A Major Issue in Cancer Immunotherapy

TL;DR: By connecting CD3 signaling molecules with a recognition process independent of the TCR variable domains, T cells can be hot-wired to recognize a user-defined cell-surface TAA that is not associated with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) to activate effector cell responses and kill cancer cells.

Rapid Identification and Evaluation of Neoantigen-reactive T-Cell Receptors From Single Cells.

TL;DR: Development of a unique demultiplexing method for identification of TCRα, adaptation of synthetic TCRs for gene transfer, and a reliable reporter system significantly shortens TCR discovery time over conventional methods and increases throughput to facilitate testing prospective personalized T CRs for adoptive cell therapy.

Immunoprevention of KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma by a multipeptide vaccine

TL;DR: The multipeptide KRAS vaccine was immunogenic and efficacious in the primary prevention ofKRAS-induced lung cancer, indicating that the approach potentially can be used to prevent other KRAS-driven cancers, either alone or in combination with other modalities.

Solving an MHC allele-specific bias in the reported immunopeptidome.

TL;DR: Higher concentrations of acetonitrile increased overall MHC ligand identifications by 2-fold, increased detection of cancer germline antigen–derived peptides by 50%, and resulted in profound variations in isolation efficacy between different MHC alleles correlated with the hydrophobicity of their anchor residues.

A High-avidity WT1-reactive T-Cell Receptor Mediates Recognition of Peptide and Processed Antigen but not Naturally Occurring WT1-positive Tumor Cells.

TL;DR: Results suggest WT1:126-134 may not be a suitable target for T-cell based tumor immunotherapies and suggest antigen processing defects in some leukemias.
