Mutanome-guided immunopeptidomics of blood plasma for neoepitope detection in solid tumors is constrained by cfDNA variant calling sensitivity and MS detection limits

Andreas Kienzle, Jonas Philipp Becker, Birgit Fendl, Erwin Tomasich, Gerwin Heller, Kathrin Wellach, Kiana Samimi, Britta Eiz-Vesper, Angelika M. Starzer, Julia Maria Berger, Vincent Sunder-Plassmann, Barbara Kiesel, Christoph Bock, Georg Widhalm, Matthias Preusser, , Angelika Beate Riemer

The paper uses plasma immunopeptidomics guided by mutanomes to detect neoepitopes in solid tumors, finding that cfDNA variant calling sensitivity and MS detection limits constrain plasma-based detection.

Elia, Fiona Megan Tilghman, Hanan Sakeer, Marco Antonio Mendoza-Parra, Angelika Beate Riemer, , Fabricio Loayza‐Puch

The paper shows that mitotic arrest in cancer cells enhances uORF/uoORF translation, leading to increased immunopeptide presentation and T-cell mediated killing.
