Editorial summary Advances in mass spectrometry have allowed the high-throughput quantitative identification of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I ligands, and recent studies have reported on the breadth and diversity of the HLA class I immunopeptidome. These findings have far-reaching implications for immunosurveillance by T cells and translational value for immunotherapy.
