Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests, all of which pertain to Elizabeth M. Jaffee: 1. Through a licensing agreement between JHU and Aduro Biotech, there is the potential to receive royalties for GVAX and Mesothelin, 2. Research funding through Aduro Biotech and Bristol-Myers Squibb, 3. Consulting activities: Adaptive Biotech, MedImmune and Genocea, 4. Scientific Advisory Board for Parker Institute for Cancer Immunology. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS One polices on sharing data and materials.
