Neoantigens Generated by Individual Mutations and Their Role in Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy

Recent preclinical and clinical studies have proved the long-standing hypothesis that tumors elicit adaptive immune responses and that the antigens driving effective T-cell response are neoantigens, i.e., peptides that are generated from somatically mutated genes. Hence, the characterization of neoa...
