Bioinformatics algorithms analyze thousands of somatic mutations to identify up to 34 unique neoantigens with the highest probability of provoking a cytotoxic T-cell response. These neoantigen coding sequences are synthesized into a single custom mRNA strand and encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles.
Once injected, host dendritic cells translate the mRNA and present the synthetic neoantigens to CD8+ T-cells, training the body immune system to track down and eliminate residual microscopic tumor cells.
