Transposable elements (TEs) are transcriptionally activated in cancer and can generate chimeric TE–gene transcripts that are tumor specific. Our pan-cancer study reveals that these transcripts are a source of tumor-specific antigens that are shared across tumor types, bind to HLA and are presented on the extracellular surface of cancer cells appended to membrane-bound proteins.
