Predicting clinical outcomes in cancer using neoantigen burden is imperfect because current algorithms use only the binding affinity of putative neoantigens to HLA. A new study models pancreatic tumour response through a deeper understanding of tumour immunology, providing new tools for identifying neoantigens and characteristics that define their quality.
使用新抗原负担预测癌症的临床结果并不完美,因为目前的算法仅使用假定的新抗原与 HLA 的结合亲和力。一项新的研究通过更深入地了解肿瘤免疫学来模拟胰腺肿瘤的反应,为识别新抗原和定义其质量的特征提供了新的工具。
