Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study was to develop personalized lung cancer vaccine targeting neoantigens. We established an algorithm to estimate individual potential neoantigens from cancer specimens using somatic mutation analysis and MHC binding predictions. Potential neoantigens were further prioritized using RNAseq data. Immunogenicity of predicted neoantigens were evaluated using healthy donor PBMC. Additionally, aiming for the personalized immunotherapy of lung cancer including neoantigen vaccines, we developed an immunogram to evaluate and visualize cancer-immunity cycle status in each patient.
