New in nature, researchers led by Okada Lab @ UCSF, Joe Costello, and Klebanoff_Lab show that in various cancers, including #glioma, alternative RNA splicing generates tumor-specific antigens. The findings present new targets for #immunotherapy: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Tumor-wide immunotherapy targets identified in new study New PICI-funded research in nature identifies a novel class of RNA splicing-derived public neoantigens—tumor-wide targets that could make T cell therapy more effective and broadly applicable. PICI Investigators at UC San Francisco

🚨Today in Cell, we show that RNA splicing factor mutations in myeloid cancers generate splicing-derived public neoantigens targetable by #TCR tx. Amazing collaboration co-led by Abdel-Wahab Lab, Robert K. Bradley, and Klebanoff_Lab. #Tcellpower cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Another incredible piece from the giants in cancer-specific splicing! Omar and his team’s research motivated my PhD thesis and continues to inspire me to this day. Check out this monumental work on the discovery of splicing-derived neoantigens in liquid tumors! 🚀🚨
