| Summary: | Cancer mutations can elicit protective immunity. Computational methods are critical for selecting these neoantigens for immunotherapy. While significant progress has been made in the field in predicting peptide presentation, our understanding of which mutated peptide is recognized as foreign by T cells remains limited. We used mouse vaccination studies to examine the features of immunogenic neoantigens and demonstrated that the mutation position is an important criterion for predicting neoantigens. |
