Abstract:
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) that have frameshift mutations in calreticulin (CALR) rarely have T cells that target this neoantigen. Gigoux et al . investigated the lack of these T cells by examining class I major histocompatiblity complex (MHC-I) allele frequencies in these patients. They saw a skewing of these alleles and thus developed a heteroclitic peptide vaccine to activate T cells against these tumors. They saw a response in patient samples ex vivo and in mice to immunization with this peptide, which represents a promising treatment for patients with this disease.
