Cancer Research Institute (CRI) shared an article by Darwin W. Kwok, et al. on LinkedIn:
“T cell-based immunotherapies hold potential in cancer treatment, but their effectiveness is often limited in tumors with few somatic mutations and substantial intratumoural heterogeneity.
A study from authors including CRI Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Iñaki Etxeberria and former CRI CLIP Investigator Dr. Christopher Klebanoff of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center identifies a new class of tumor-wide public neoantigens arising from RNA splicing aberrations, such as those in GNAS and RPL22, which are recognized by T cells across various cancers such as glioma, mesothelioma, prostate cancer, and liver cancer.
These neoantigens, generated under physiological conditions, trigger immune responses capable of eradicating cancer cells, providing a promising approach for overcoming the challenges of intratumoral heterogeneity in cancer therapies.
