Mutated peptides, known as neoantigens, derived from a patient’s cancer genome can be targeted by T-cell immunity. However, identifying which peptides can be presented by MHC molecules and stimulate T cells has proven challenging. Existing algorithms can predict MHC binding but struggle to account for the half-lives of these complexes (a critical immunological parameter called kinetic stability). Enhancing our ability to determine the true stability of neoantigen peptide\/MHC complexes is crucial, as only a small fraction of peptides in current vaccines effectively trigger CD8+ T-cell responses.<\/p>\n

A study utilized a rapid, high-throughput approach to experimentally measure peptide\/HLA thermal stability on a scale needed for analyzing neoantigens from thousands of patients. By combining UV-cleavable peptide\/HLA class I complexes with differential scanning fluorimetry, the Tm values of neoantigen complexes were determined. These Tm values were accurate, reproducible, and directly proportional to the complexes’ half-lives. When analyzing known HLA-A2\u2013restricted immunogenic peptides, Tm values correlated more strongly with immunogenicity than algorithm-predicted binding affinities. Using temperature stability information can help select neoantigens for cancer vaccines, focusing on mutated peptides most likely to be expressed on the cell surface.<\/p>\n
