Multi-omics antigen discovery and repertoire expansion
Why this stage exists: The review states that traditional E6/E7 targets are limited by heterogeneous tumor expression and advocates inclusion of tumor-specific neoantigens.
Selection basis: Use multi-omics analysis to identify and broaden candidate antigens beyond traditional E6/E7 targets.
Advance criteria: Candidates proceed if supported as plausible therapeutic antigens within the expanded repertoire.
Enriches for: expanded antigen repertoire, tumor specificity, expression evidence
Guards against: overreliance on heterogeneous E6/E7 expression
