Not all neoantigens are created equal

Drug Target Review

These neoantigens are identified by T cells of the immune system as foreign proteins and thus trigger an immune response. Neoantigens are recognised as non-self and trigger an immune response. Patients with high numbers of clonal neoantigens show improved disease-free survival.
