Improved predictions of antigen presentation and TCR recognition with MixMHCpred2.2 and PRIME2.0 reveal potent SARS-CoV-2 CD8+ T-cell epitopes

David Gfeller et al.

Summary: Recognition of pathogen or cancer-specific epitopes is crucial for immune responses. In this study, a computational framework was developed to predict antigen presentation and TCR recognition. The improved predictions of HLA-I ligands and neo-epitopes were validated using SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Cross-reactivity with homologous peptides from other coronaviruses was also observed.

Identification of neoantigens for individualized therapeutic cancer vaccines

Franziska Lang et al.

Summary: This Review discusses the use of tumor-specific neoantigens in anticancer vaccines and introduces the mechanisms of neoantigen T cell recognition, as well as computational approaches to predict which neoantigens might confer proficient antitumor immunity in patients. Individualized treatment approaches are required to harness the full potential of the unique cancer mutations in each patient. Computational algorithms and machine-learning tools can be used to identify mutations, prioritize T cell-recognized antigens, and design personalized vaccines for each patient.

Reversion analysis reveals the in vivo immunogenicity of a poorly MHC I-binding cancer neoepitope

Hakimeh Ebrahimi-Nik et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that low-affinity MHC I-peptide interactions can also trigger strong T cell response and anti-tumour immunity, despite the canonical concept that high-affinity interactions are essential for immunogenicity. Structural modeling suggests that the increased hydrophobicity of neo-epitope surfaces may contribute to higher TCR reactivity in these non-binding epitopes.

Personalized cancer vaccine strategy elicits polyfunctional T cells and demonstrates clinical benefits in ovarian cancer

Janos L. Tanyi et al.

Summary: By adding ASA and low-dose IL-2 to the OCDC-Bev-Cy combination regimen, we elicited vaccine-specific T-cell responses that positively correlated with prolonged time-to-progression and overall survival in patients. This combinatorial strategy was effective and demonstrated the utility of the ID8 ovarian model for future ovarian trial development.

Neoantigen vaccination induces clinical and immunologic responses in non-small cell lung cancer patients harboring EGFR mutations

Fenge Li et al.

Summary: The phase I trial of personalized NeoAg peptide vaccination in NSCLC patients showed feasibility and safety. Clinical and immune responses following vaccination suggest that EGFR mutations are shared, immunogenic neoantigens with promising therapeutic potential for NSCLC patients. PPV with concurrent EGFR inhibitor therapy was well tolerated and contributed to the induction of T cell responses.

Identification and Targeting of Mutant Peptide Neoantigens in Cancer Immunotherapy

Daniel J. Verdon et al.

Summary: This review discusses the identification of neoantigens as a key immune target in cancer therapy, and the development of technologies for detecting patient-specific mutations giving rise to these neoantigens. It also examines the therapeutic modalities targeting neoantigens, such as adoptive cell transfer and checkpoint blockade therapies, that have shown promise in preclinical and clinical settings.

Prediction of neo-epitope immunogenicity reveals TCR recognition determinants and provides insight into immunoediting

Julien Schmidt et al.

Summary: CD8+ T cell recognition of peptide epitopes is crucial in immune responses, but the rules governing which peptides are recognized by T cell receptors remain unclear. Training a predictor called PRIME using recent epitope data improves prediction accuracy, particularly in cancer immunotherapy for identifying new epitopes.
