Problems solved by technology

[0007] Finally, standard approaches to tumor genome and transcriptome profiling may miss somatic mutations that generate candidate neoantigens due to suboptimal conditions for library construction, exome and transcriptome capture, sequencing, or data analysis
Likewise, standard tumor profiling methods may inadvertently contribute to sequence artifacts or germline polymorphisms as neoantigens, leading to inefficient use of vaccine potency or risk of autoimmunity, respectively

[0417] In another embodiment, the deviation parameter θ h 0 May be shared by gene families of the MHC allele h. That is, the bias parameter θ of the MHC allele h h 0 can be equal to θ 基因(h) 0 , where gene (h) is the gene family of the MHC allele h. For example, the MHC class I alleles HLA-A*02:01, HLA-A*02:02, and HLA-A*02:03 can be assigned to the "HLA-A" gene family, and these MHC alleles The respective bias parameters θ h 0 Can be shared. As another example, the MHC class II alleles HLA-DRB1:10:01, HLA-DRB1:11:01, and HLA-DRB3:01:01 may be assigned to the "HLA-DRB" gene family, and these MHC alleles Gene's respective bias parameter θ h 0 Can be shared.

[0418] Going back to equation (2), as an example, when using the affine correlation function g h (·) Of the m = 4 different MHC alleles identified, peptide p k The probability of being presented by the MHC allele h=3 can be given by:

Abstract

A method for identifying neoantigens that are likely to be presented on a surface of tumor cells of a subject. Peptide sequences of tumor neoantigens are obtained by sequencing the tumor cells of thesubject. The peptide sequence of each of the neoantigens is associated with one or more k-mer blocks of a plurality of k-mer blocks of the nucleotide sequencing data of the subject; The peptide sequences and the associated k-mer blocks are input into a machine- learned presentation model to generate presentation likelihoods for the tumor neoantigens, each presentation likelihood representing the likelihood that a neoantigen is presented by an MHC allele on the surfaces of the tumor cells of the subject. A subset of the neoantigens is selected based on the presentation likelihoods.

Description

Background technique [0001] Therapeutic vaccines and T cell therapies based on tumor-specific neoantigens hold great promise as the next generation of personalized cancer immunotherapy. 1–3 Cancers with a high mutational burden, such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and melanoma, represent particularly interesting targets for such therapies, given the relatively high likelihood of neoantigen production. 4,5 Early evidence suggests that neoantigen-based vaccinations can elicit T-cell responses 6 And T-cell therapy targeting neoantigens was able to induce tumor regression in selected patients in some cases. 7 Both MHC class I and MHC class II have an impact on T cell responses 70-71 . [0002] However, the identification of neoantigens and the T cells that recognize them have become an important part of assessing tumor response. 77,110 , check tumor progression 111 and design the next generation of personalized therapies 112 main challenge. Current neoantigen identif...
