Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has low mutational load. Here the authors analyze circulating and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from 19 EOC patients and report frequent recovery of neo-antigen-reactive T cells from both compartments but with distinct TCR repertoires that have higher affinity in TILs.
