Abstract

The antigenic landscape of the adaptive immune response is determined by the peptides presented by immune cells. In recent years, a number of immune-based cancer therapies have been shown to induce remarkable clinical responses through the activation of the patient's immune system. As a result, there is a need to identify immune biomarkers capable of predicting clinical response. Recent advances in proteomics have led to considerable developments in the more comprehensive profiling of the immune response. "Immunoproteomics" utilises a rapidly increasing collection of technologies in order to identify and quantify antigenic peptides or proteins. This includes gel-based, array-based, mass spectrometry (MS), DNA-based, or computer-based (in silico) approaches. Immunoproteomics is yielding an understanding of disease and disease progression, vaccine candidates, and biomarkers to a depth not before understood. This review gives an overview of the emerging role of proteomics in improving personalisation of immunotherapy treatment.
