Differential ion mobility mass spectrometry in immunopeptidomics identifies neoantigens carrying colorectal cancer driver mutations.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the properties of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) peptides (immunopeptides) is essential for precision cancer medicine, while the direct identification of immunopeptides from small biopsies of clinical tissues by mass spectrometry (MS) is still confronted with technical challenges. Here, to overcome these hindrances, high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) is introduced to conduct differential ion mobility (DIM)-MS by seamless gas-phase fractionation optimal for scarce samples. By established DIM-MS for immunopeptidomics analysis, on average, 42.9 mg of normal and tumor colorectal tissues from identical patients (n = 17) were analyzed, and on average 4921 immunopeptides were identified. Among these 44,815 unique immunopeptides, two neoantigens, KRAS-G12
