Influence of T Cell-Mediated Immune Surveillance on Somatic Mutation Occurrences in Melanoma

BackgroundNeoantigens are presented on the cancer cell surface by peptide-restricted human leukocyte antigen (HLA) proteins and can subsequently activate cognate T cells. It has been hypothesized that the observed somatic mutations in tumors are shaped by immunosurveillance.MethodsWe investigated al...
