Neoantigen identification involves identifying and validating novel antigen molecules produced by specific tumors using bioinformatics tools and experimental methods. These neoantigens are derived from tumor-specific mutations that differ significantly from normal cell antigens, enabling them to be recognized by the immune system and initiate immune responses. Neoantigens arise due to genetic mutations accumulated during the proliferation and division of cancer cells, resulting in the production of ab......

iTRAQ analysis is a high-throughput quantitative method widely used in proteomics research. By incorporating isotopic labels at peptide termini, this technique allows for the simultaneous relative and absolute quantification of proteins across multiple biological samples. The core principle of iTRAQ lies in its use of isotopic tags, which ensure identical mass signals for labeled samples in the mass spectrum. During collision-induced dissociation (CID), these tags release reporter ions with distinct m......
