No.

First, as you know, metastases don't have the same mutational profile as primaries. Second, antigen-negative cancers arise under pressure of T cell recognition. Third, p53 is just a given, highly-mutated "antigen" for TIL exploration. Doesn't necessarily follow that its peptides represent strong antigens.

But I would suggest that another two decades of such gut-wrenching research will uncover the best of patient-specific antigens/screening assays to use for "whatever car-T looks like in year 2040".... with simultaneous or sequential attack against multiple antigens.

Can't begin to imagine how many hours Dr. Malekzadeh has devoted to this research.
