Long non-coding RNA-derived peptides are immunogenic and drive a potent anti-tumour response

Long noncoding RNA molecules are RNA transcripts long thought to remain untranslated. In this study, the authors demonstrate that certain lncRNA can be translated into peptides that are immunogenic to CD8+ T cells and promote anti-tumour responses when delivered as vaccine vectors in mice.
