Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for selecting tumor-specific neoantigens from a tumor of a subject that are suitable for subject-specific immunogenic compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for selecting one or more tumor-specific neoantigens from a tumor of a subject for a personalized immunogenic composition. Also disclosed herein are methods for treating cancer in a subject in need thereof by administering an immunogenic composition comprising tumor-specific neoantigens selected using the methods disclosed herein.

Abstract: Provided herein are immunogenic compositions comprising tumor-specific neoantigen long peptides, tumor-specific neoantigen short peptides, and adjuvant, optionally a helper peptide, and optionally a tumor-specific peptide. The disclosure also provides methods of using these immunogenic compositions for treating cancer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for ranking tumor-specific neoantigens from a tumor of a subject that are suitable for subject-specific immunogenic compositions. Suitable tumor-specific neoantigens are tumor-specific neoantigens that are likely presented on the cell surface of the tumor, are likely to be immunogenic, are predicted to be expressed in sufficient amounts to elicit an immune response in the subject, optionally represent sufficient diversity across the tumor, and have relatively high manufacture feasibility. The present methods take a set of neoantigens (peptide vaccine candidates) and ranks the neoantigens in a way such that a group of top-ranked neoantigens simultaneously promotes cell-surface presentation of important neoantigens for Class I and Class II MHC molecules. The top-ranked neoantigens can then be further narrowed according manufacturability and/or other criteria.

Abstract: A thermoplastic polyurethane resin composition comprising: a thermoplastic polyurethane resin; an ultraviolet absorber package comprising a benzotriazole compound (UVA1), and a triazine compound (UVA2) wherein the mass ratio of UVA1 to UVA2 is from 1:1 to 3:1; optionally, a hindered amine light stabilizer and/or an antioxidant compound; and wherein the thermoplastic polyurethane resin composition has a maximum ultraviolet transmittance of ?3% in the wavelengths between 280 nm and 365 nm and an ultraviolet transmittance of ?6% in the wavelengths between 365 nm and 370 nm when the thermoplastic polyurethane resin is formed into a film having a thickness of 6 mils and wherein the cumulative weight % of UVA1 and UVA2 in the polyurethane resin composition ranges from 0.5 wt % to 0.85 wt % based on the total weight of the polyurethane resin composition.

Abstract: Techniques are described and relate to assigning peptides to peptide groups for vaccine development. In an example, a peptide property of a peptide is determined, where this peptide is from different peptides that are to be assigned to different groups of vaccine. A determination is also made that the peptide is to be assigned to a first group from the different groups based at least in part on the peptide property. The first group has a first group property that is based at least in part on peptide properties of first peptides to be assigned to the first group. The first group property is within a similarity range relative to a second group property of a second group from the different groups. Information is generated and indicates that the peptide is assigned to the first group.
