"Unique antigens" refers to substances or markers in the body that are specific and distinct from others. These antigens help our immune system recognize and fight off unfamiliar substances, such as viruses or bacteria. Full definition
At Gritstone Oncology, researchers pair deep learning with multi-omic profiling to characterize a patient's cancer and identify unique antigens that aren't expressed by healthy cells. (scientificamerican.com)
Though similar to healthy cells, cancer cells often display unique antigens on their surface, which can be exploited to develop cancer immunotherapies. (sciencedaily.com)
However, if it is known which unique antigen is expressed by a tumour cell type, it should be possible to clone a T - cell receptor that has the capacity to bind to that antigen. (scilifelab.se)
