Figure Lengend Snippet: Protocol for intranodal Neo-P DC vaccine therapy. Predicted neoantigens based on single-nucleotide variants identified by NGS were synthesized, and DCs differentiated from patient-derived PBMCs were pulsed by synthesized neoantigen peptides to generate Neo-P DC vaccines. The Neo-P DC vaccines were directly administered into the lymph nodes under US guidance. After the administration of three vaccines at 2-week intervals, IFN-γ ELISpot analysis was performed, and Neo-P+ DCs were used for the following three vaccines. After administering the six DC vaccines, ELISpot responses were measured again. PBMCs and plasma were cryopreserved before, during, and after treatment.
