Multifactorial Remodeling of the Cancer Immunopeptidome by IFNγ.

IFNγ remodels the HLA-I-presented immunopeptidome. We showed that peptide-specific factors influence whether a peptide is upregulated or downregulated and identified a preferential loss or downregulation of those with proline near the peptide center. This will help selecting immunotherapy target antigens which are consistently presented by cancer cells.
