Neoantigen landscape supports feasibility of personalized cancer vaccine for follicular lymphoma.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Personalized cancer vaccines designed to target neoantigens represent a promising new treatment paradigm in oncology. In contrast to classical idiotype vaccines, we hypothesized that "polyvalent" vaccines could be engineered for the personalized treatment of follicular lymphoma (FL) using neoantigen discovery by combined whole-exome sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Fifty-eight tumor samples from 57 patients with FL underwent WES and RNA-seq. Somatic and B-cell clonotype neoantigens were predicted and filtered to identify high-quality neoantigens. B-cell clonality was determined by the alignment of B-cell receptor (BCR) CDR3 regions from RNA-seq data, grouping at the protein level, and comparison with the BCR repertoire from healthy individuals using RNA-seq d
