Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and provides a tumor antigen peptide, antibody, detection kit, pharmaceutical composition or vaccine and its uses. Background Technology

[0002] Lung adenocarcinoma is one of the most common and deadliest malignant tumors worldwide, accounting for approximately 40%–50% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy have shown some efficacy in some patients, the overall prognosis remains unsatisfactory, especially after the development of drug resistance, metastasis, or recurrence, where the effectiveness of traditional treatments significantly declines. Recent studies have shown that the occurrence of lung adenocarcinoma is closely related to immune escape. Tumor cells evade the surveillance and clearance of the body's immune system through mechanisms such as downregulating antigen-presenting molecules, secreting immunosuppressive factors, and inducing immune tolerance. Therefore, restoring or enhancing the body's specific immune recognition ability against tumors has become an important strategy for improving the treatment efficacy of lung adenocarcinoma. Personalized immunotherapy targeting neoantigens has emerged in this context, providing a new direction for the precision treatment of lung adenocarcinoma. Tumor immunotherapy, by activating the patient's own immune system to specifically recognize and eliminate tumor cells, is a crucial direction in current cancer treatment. Tumor-specific mutant antigens (neoantigens), originating from unique gene mutations in tumor cells, are expressed and presented only in tumor tissue, effectively avoiding damage to normal tissues and exhibiting high specificity and safety. After intracellular processing, neoantigens are presented to the cell surface by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules, thereby being recognized by cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) and inducing a specific immune response. Therefore, obtaining short peptides of antigens that can be efficiently presented and elicit a strong immune response is a key foundation for the development of precision immunotherapy drugs.

[0003] Currently, neoantigen discovery relies heavily on sequencing prediction or immunopeptidomics identification, but both approaches have limitations: the former has a high false-positive rate, making it difficult to accurately reflect actual presentation and immunogenicity in vivo; the latter, while directly validating presented peptides, is limited by detection sensitivity and sample requirements, making it difficult to comprehensively cover low-abundance but crucial neoantigens. Particularly for "cold tumors" with low mutational burdens, traditional methods often fail to obtain a sufficient number and quality of effective targets, resulting in limited immunotherapy response rates and unmet clinical needs.

Mutation frequencies and related short peptides were analyzed. The HLA binding affinity, antigen peptide-MHC complex stability, and antigen peptide processing and presentation efficiency of the relevant antitumor short peptides were predicted using NetMHCpan HLA-I / II, NetMHCstapan, and NetCTLpan, respectively. The peptides were then weighted and ranked based on mutation frequency, affinity, stability, and processing and presentation efficiency scores to identify antigen peptides derived from DHRS4 mutations.
