Abstract:BACKGROUND: The efficacy of immunotherapy in gliomas is limited by tumor heterogeneity and low mutational burden. Recent studies revealed increased alternative splicing (AS) in various cancer types that potentially translate into targetable neoantigens. We developed a novel comprehensive in silico pipeline for detecting tumor-specific AS events (neojunctions), and successfully identified tumor-wide, public, alternatively spliced neoantigens (ASNs) that elicited CD8+ T-cell-mediated immune responses.
