Research Article: Untranslated regions (UTRs) are a potential novel source of neoantigens for personalised immunotherapy

Date Published: 2024-03-27

Abstract:
Background: Neoantigens, mutated tumour-specific antigens, are key targets of anti-tumour immunity during checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) treatment. Their identification is fundamental to designing neoantigen-directed therapy. Non-canonical neoantigens arising from the untranslated regions (UTR) of the genome are an overlooked source of immunogenic neoantigens. Here, we describe the landscape of UTR-derived neoantigens and release a computational tool, PrimeCUTR, to predict UTR neoantigens generated by start-gain and stop-loss mutations.
