a,b, A*11:01 monoallelic cells were engineered to express doxycycline (dox)-inducible full-length (FL) KRAS mutant proteins (G12C, G12D and G12V). These were compared against an A*11:01 monoallelic cell line containing the no-linker polyantigen cassette. a, Absolute amount of KRAS wild-type (WT) and mutant proteins in the cell lysate by targeted MS. b, Copies per cell of presented KRAS 9-mer (VVGAXGVGK) and 10-mer (VVVGAXGVGK) neoepitopes as measured by A*11:01 monomers containing heavy synthetic neoepitope peptides spiked in before affinity purification and targeted MS. c, Targeted immunopeptidomic analysis of neoepitopes in cell lines that endogenously express both KRAS and A*11:01. Two neoantigens for KRAS G12C (VVGACGVGK and VVVGACGVGK) and KRAS G12D (VVGADGVGK and VVVGADGVGK) were analyzed in cell lines that harbor KRAS G12C (HOP62 and NCIH2030), G12D (HuCCT1 and SNU601) or G12V (SW527). These neoepitopes are either novel or were described previously in non-endogenous systems. ‘Treated’ samples were treated with interferon-gamma.
