Abstract

The authors of a recent study identified non-canonical peptides (NCP) presented by cancer cells' HLA and observed lack of reactivity to these antigens by endogenous tumor-reactive T cells. In vitro sensitization generated NCP-reactive T cells that recognized epitopes shared by a majority of cancers tested, providing opportunities for novel therapies to shared antigens.
