Antileukemia T-cell responses in CLL – We don't need no aberration.

Effective antigen-specific cancer immunotherapy requires exact knowledge of tumor-associated epitopes that can act as rejection antigens. Although the current paradigm views mutation-derived neoantigens as the most promising targets, we have recently demonstrated that leukemia-specific T-cell responses associated with survival benefit in CLL patients target a panel of non-mutated tumor-associated antigens.
