Today, in @Nature, we reveal PART 2 of our investigations on

“What IS going on in long-term survivors of #PancreaticCancer (#PDAC)?”

“Is it REALLY the immune system?”

Well…more evidence here - > nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thread below [1/30]
In 2017, we reported in @Nature here -> nature.com/articles/natur… -> that primary tumors of long-term survivors of #PDAC had ~12x more activated CD8 T cells vs. short-term survivors. Now, others had reported this before - but we wanted to know:

“What are the antigens?” Image
Here, the prevailing belief was:

#PDAC has few mutations -> even fewer mutation-derived neoantigens -> neoantigens are unlikely T cell antigens in #PDAC.

But we thought: despite #PDAC’s few mutations, mutation-derived neoantigens may still be T cell antigens in #PDAC survivors
