Abstract:
Methods and processes to identify neoplastic tissue antigens derived from alternative splicing (AS) are described, in accordance with various embodiments of the invention. Also described are novel tumor antigens that are useful as targets in various immunotherapeutic approaches to treating brain cancer as well as novel engineered T cell Receptors (TCRs) and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that target these antigenic peptides.

Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to methods, assays and kits to maintain a human stem cell population in an undifferentiated state by inhibiting the expression or function of METTL3 and/or METTL4, and m6A fingerprint methods, assays, arrays and kits to assess the cell state of a human stem cell population by assessing m6A levels (e.g. m6A peak intensities) of a set of target genes disclosed herein to determine if the stem cell is in an undifferentiated or differentiated state.
