  • Publication number: 20240082372
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for selecting a tumor neoantigenic peptide wherein said method comprises: —a step of identifying, among mRNA sequences from cancer cells of a subject, a fusion transcript sequence comprising a transposable element (TE) sequence and an exonic sequence, and including an open reading frame (ORF), and —a step of selecting a tumor neoantigenic peptide of at least 8 amino acids, encoded by a part of said ORF of the fusion transcript sequence, wherein said ORF overlaps the junction between the TE and the exonic sequence, is pure TE and/or is non-canonical, and wherein said tumor neoantigenic peptide binds to at least one Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecule of said subject. The present disclosure also relates to tumor neoantigenic peptide obtained according to the present method, vaccine or immunogenic composition, antibodies and immune cells derived thereof and their use in therapy of cancer.

  • Publication number: 20220401539
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tumor specific neoantigenic peptide, wherein said peptide (i) is encoded by a part of an (ORF) sequence from an unannotated transcript which transcription is positively regulated by an aberrant fusion protein, and (ii) is expressed at a higher level or frequency in a sample from said tumor compared to normal tissue sample. The present disclosure also relates to vaccine or immunogenic composition, antibodies and immune cells derived thereof and their use in therapy of cancer.
