Neoantigen-specific T cell help outperforms non-specific help in multi-antigen DNA vaccination against cancer by Joanna Fréderique de Graaf, Tamara Pesic, Felicia S. Spitzer, Koen Oosterhuis, Marcel G.M. Camps, Iris Zoutendijk, Bram Teunisse, Wahwah Zhu, Tsolere Arakelian, Gerben C. Zondag, Ramon Arens, Jeroen van Bergen, Ferry Ossendorp

“…CD4+ T helper antigens are essential components of cancer vaccines, but the relevance of the source of these MHC class II-restricted antigens remains underexplored. To compare the effectiveness of tumor-specific versus tumor-unrelated helper antigens, we designed three DNA vaccines for the murine MC-38 colon carcinoma, encoding CD8+ T cell neoantigens alone (noHELP) or in combination with either “universal” helper antigens (uniHELP) or helper neoantigens (neoHELP). …”
