Not all neoantigens are created equal

Drug Target Review

During the process of transformation from a normal cell into a cancer cell, a cell acquires a series of changes, or mutations, in its DNA. But DNA mutations can also result in changes to the proteins that are displayed on the surface of the cancer cell. These mutations are called clonal mutations or clonal neoantigens.
