Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors are an important model system for evaluating neoantigen-based immunotherapies given their high tumor mutation burden and response to checkpoint blockade. We identified tumor-specific, frameshift peptides, encoding multiple epitopes that originated from indel mutations shared among patients with MSI-H endometrial, colorectal and stomach cancers. Epitopes derived from these shared frameshifts have high population occurrence rates, wide presence in many tumor subclones and are predicted to bind to the most frequent HLA alleles in the TCGA MSI-H patient cohorts. Neoantigens arising from these mutations are more dissimilar to both self and viral antigens, indicating the creation of peptides, that, when translated, can present truly novel antigens to the immune system. Finally, we validated the immunogenicity of common frameshift peptides from MSI-H endometrial patients in an array of T cell stimulation experiments, using peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from healthy donors. Our study describes for the first time the widespread occurrence and strong immunogenicity of tumor-specific antigens, derived from shared frameshift mutations in MSI-H cancer and Lynch syndrome patients, suitable for the design of common preventive \"off-the-shelf\" cancer vaccines.
