Abstract

Neo-antigens presented on cell surface play a pivotal role in the success of immunotherapies. Peptides derived from mutant proteins are thought to be the primary source of neo-antigens presented on the surface of cancer cells. Mutation data from cancer genome sequencing is often used to predict cancer neo-antigens. However, this strategy is associated with significant false positives as many coding mutations may not be expressed at the protein level. Hence, we describe a computational workflow to integrate genomic and proteomic data to predictpotential neo-antigens.
