Mutanome-guided immunopeptidomics of blood plasma for neoepitope detection in solid tumors is constrained by cfDNA variant calling sensitivity and MS detection limits

Introduction: Neoepitopes form the basis of tumor-specific immune responses. Tissue biopsy, the primary source for neoepitope detection, is limited and invasive. Therefore, we aimed to identify neoepitopes by mutanome-guided immunopeptidomics from plasma of cancer patients. Methods: Mass spectrometry (MS) data analysis of HLA ligands from plasma (n = 4) was guided by patient-specific mutanomes of…
