The generation of different categories of tumor antigens

Overexpressed tumor antigens are derived from overexpression of certain proteins. Differentiation antigens are derived from differentiation-related proteins. Cancer-testis antigens are derived from proteins which are only expressed in tumor and testis. Neoantigens are derived from mutated proteins. Viral antigens are derived from virus-encoded proteins. Post-translation modified antigens are derived from post-translation modified proteins. Adapted from [49].
