Abstract

BACKGROUND: Tumor-specific mutations form novel immunogenic peptides called neoantigens. Neoantigens can be used as a biomarker predicting patient response to cancer immunotherapy. Although a predicted binding affinity (IC50) between peptide and major histocompatibility complex class I is currently used for neoantigen prediction, large number of false-positives exist.
