Abstract
MOTIVATION
Neoantigen vaccines make use of tumor-specific mutations to enable the patient's immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer. Selecting vaccine elements, however, is a complex task which needs to take into account not only the underlying antigen presentation pathway but also tumor heterogeneity.
RESULTS
Here, we present NeoAgDT, a two-step approach consisting of: (1) simulating individual cancer cells to create a digital twin of the patient's tumor cell population and (2) optimizing the vaccine composition by integer linear programming based on this digital twin. NeoAgDT shows improved selection of experimentally-validated neoantigens over ranking-based approaches in a study of seven patients.
AVAILABILITY
The NeoAgDT code is published on Github: https://github.com/nec-research/neoagdt.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
期刊介绍:
The leading journal in its field, Bioinformatics publishes the highest quality scientific papers and review articles of interest to academic and industrial researchers. Its main focus is on new developments in genome bioinformatics and computational biology. Two distinct sections within the journal - Discovery Notes and Application Notes- focus on shorter papers; the former reporting biologically interesting discoveries using computational methods, the latter exploring the applications used for experiments.
