Figure 2. Methods of Tumor Antigen Identification.

Figure 2

Differential gene analysis, exome sequencing and proteomics are three different methods of identifying tumor TAAs in PDA. Immunoassays conducted on T cells from vaccinated PDA patients determine the presence of antigen specific cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. These antigens can then be used to develop more potent antigen specific immunotherapies.
