Handled by Yu Xue Introduction {#s0005} ============ Cancer somatic mutations and viral oncogenes can generate tumor-specific protein sequences that are entirely absent from normal human cells. These novel proteins may result in the formation of tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) [@b0005]. As an important type of TSAs, n...
