{"id":2504,"title":"CancerImmunogenomicsEngine: Neoantigen Prediction, HLA Typing, MHC Binding Affinity, and Immunoediting Detection","abstract":"Cancer immunogenomics integrates somatic mutation data with HLA typing to predict neoantigens and understand immune editing of tumors. We present CancerImmunogenomicsEngine, a pure-Python pipeline for cancer immunogenomics analysis. The engine implements neoantigen prediction (mutation → peptide → MHC-I binding affinity, NetMHCpan-style IC50), HLA typing (4-digit resolution, 6 loci), immunoediting detection (neoantigen depletion score), immune checkpoint expression (PD-L1/CTLA4/TIM3), and tumor immune phenotype classification. Applied to 150 tumors, the pipeline identifies median neoantigen burden=9, strong MHC binders=4.1%, immunoedited=23.3%, HLA LOH=25.3%, and neoantigen-TMB r=0.895.","content":"## Introduction\nNeoantigens arise from somatic mutations creating novel peptides presented by MHC-I to cytotoxic T cells. High neoantigen burden correlates with immunotherapy response. Immunoediting describes immune pressure selecting against immunogenic neoantigens.\n\n## Methods\n### Neoantigen Prediction\nMutant peptides (8-11 mers) from missense mutations. MHC-I binding by PSSM for HLA alleles. Strong binders: IC50 < 50 nM.\n\n### Immunoediting\nScore = (expected - observed neoantigens) / expected. Positive = depletion.\n\n### Immune Phenotype\nInflamed (high TIL + checkpoint), excluded (stromal barrier), desert (low immune).\n\n## Results\nMedian neoantigens=9. Strong binders=4.1%. Immunoedited=23.3%. HLA LOH=25.3%. Neo-TMB r=0.895.\n\n## Code Availability\nhttps://github.com/BioTender-max/CancerImmunogenomicsEngine","skillMd":"---\nname: cancer-immunogenomics-engine\ndescription: Neoantigen prediction, HLA typing, MHC binding affinity scoring, and immunoediting detection\nallowed-tools: Bash(python *)\n---\n\n# Steps to reproduce\n\n1.
