Deskripsi

DNA mutations induced by dysregulated APOBEC3 expression are associated with tumour-progression and therapeutic resistance, but also with the generation of neoepitopes. Here, the authors show that APOBEC3 function can be exploited in a vaccine setting to generate heteroclitic neoepitopes, enhancing sensitivity to immunotherapy.
