NCIt definition : A peptide-based, personalized glioblastoma cancer vaccine consisting of patient-specific
glioblastoma derived immunogenic mutated epitopes (neoantigens), with potential immunomodulating
and antineoplastic activities. Vaccination with the neoantigen-based glioblastoma
vaccine stimulates the host immune system to mount a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)
response against tumor cells expressing the neoantigens, which results in tumor cell
lysis. Neoantigens are tumor-specific antigens derived from mutated proteins that
are present only in a specific tumor.;
