Abstract: Immunogenic compositions comprising one or more polypeptides, wherein the one or more polypeptides: is capable of binding to Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I, and is derived from one or more proteins of SARS-CoV-2. Also provided include methods of treating and preventing diseases using the immunogenic compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are polypeptides and compositions comprising one or more neoantigens, methods of identifying neoantigens, and methods for preparing a neoantigen for an immunogenic pharmaceutical composition. The neoantigen can be specific to a subject that has a cancer, disease, or other disorder.

Abstract: Adaptive immune responses rely on the ability of cytotoxic T cells to identify and eliminate cells displaying disease-specific antigens on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules. Investigations into antigen processing and display have immense implications in human health, disease and therapy. To extend understanding of the rules governing antigen processing and presentation, immunopurified peptides from B cells, each expressing a single HLA class I allele, were profiled. A resource dataset containing thousands of peptides bound to distinct class I HLA-A, -B, and -C alleles was generated by implementing a novel allele-specific database search strategy. Applicants discovered new binding motifs, established the role of gene expression in peptide presentation and improved prediction of HLA-peptide binding by using these data to train machine-learning models. These streamlined experimental and analytic workflows enable direct identification and analysis of endogenously processed and presented antigens.

Abstract: Proteomic methods for identifying cancer related proteins and related products and kits are provided. The cancer specific proteins are extracellular matrix proteins that are associated with various aspects of cancer. Panels or signature sets of proteins useful in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancers as well as monitoring therapeutic progress in a cancer patient are provided herein along with methods for their detection and for their use in targeting imaging and/or therapeutic agents to the tumors via binding to the specified proteins. The proteins were identified using proteomics analyzes of tissue samples taken from cancer patients. In certain aspects the proteins are particularly useful in colon cancer patients.
