Figure 1
Endogenous immune response against tumor‐expressing tumor‐associated antigens (TAAs) after remission. (A) % of bone marrow (BM) T cells responding to each identified TAA normalized to maximal response (Staphylococcal enterotoxin B [SEB]) at diagnosis (left panel) and quantification of tested TAAs versus immunogenic TAAs (right panel) for one patient (ISHOP07). (B) % of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) responding to each identified TAA normalized to maximal response (SEB), after remission (left panel) and quantification of tested TAAs versus immunogenic TAAs (right panel) for all patients. (C) Lymphocytic response rate against tested TAAs per patient. (D) Cumulative cytokine responses to all TAAs in an individual patient.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Endogenous immune response against predicted neoantigens after remission. (A) % of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) responding to each tested neoantigen normalized to maximal response (Staphylococcal enterotoxin B [SEB]) (left panel) and quantification of tested neoantigens versus immunogenic neoantigens (right panel) for two patients after remission (V3). For ISHOP13, due to limited sample size, peptides were tested as pools rather than individually. (B) For ISHOP14, % of PBMCs responding to each tested neoantigen normalized to maximal response (SEB) following two rounds of in vitro stimulation at follow‐up timepoint 2 years after initial treatment (left panel) and quantification of tested neoantigens versus immunogenic neoantigens (right panel). (C) Lymphocytic response rate against tested neoantigens per patient. (D) Cumulative cytokine responses to all neoantigens in individual patients. (E) For ISHOP 14, cytokine production of CD4+ T cells rechallenge with L‐8 peptide (left panel) and functional profile of L‐8‐specific CD4+ T cells (right panel). IFN, interferon; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
