Tumor-Specific Mutated Peptide Antigen (TSA/Neoantigen)

Target
TSA/Neoantigen
Molecular classification
Peptide, Antigen
01

Overview

Tumor-specific mutated peptide antigens, or neoantigens, are unique peptides arising from somatic mutations in cancer cells, not present in normal tissues. They are presented on MHC-I molecules and can be recognized by T-cell receptors, triggering an immune response. They serve as targets for personalized cancer vaccines, adoptive T-cell therapies, and bispecific antibodies. Identification involves sequencing, mutation calling, epitope prediction, and experimental validation.
