Open AccessCRISPR/Cas9-mediated TGFβRII disruption enhances anti-tumor efficacy of human chimeric antigen receptor T cells in vitro
CAR T-cell therapy has been recently unveiled as one of the most promising cancer therapies in hematological malignancies. However, solid tumors mount a profound line of defense to escape immunosurveillance by...

Discovery and Subty** of Neo-Epitope Specific T-Cell Responses for Cancer Immunotherapy: Addressing the Mutanome
Cancer accumulates 10s to 1000s of genomic mutations of which a fraction is immunogenic and may serve as an Achilles’ heel of tumor cells. Mutation-specific T cells can recognize these antigens and destroy mal...

Open AccessHLA ty** from RNA-Seq sequence reads
We present a method, seq2HLA, for obtaining an individual's human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II type and expression using standard next generation sequencing RNA-Seq data. RNA-Seq reads are mapped aga...
