Recent evidence suggested that the mRNA vaccine has been effective for many tumors, but its progress in gliomas was slow. In this study, we screened potential tumor antigens and suitable populations for mRNA vaccine to develop mRNA vaccine for glioma. We integrated the normalized RNA sequencing expression data and somatic mutation data from TCGA‐GBM, TCGA‐LGG, and CGGA datasets. Putative antigens in glioma were identified by selecting highly mutated genes with intimate correlation with clinical survival and immune infiltration. An unsupervised partition around medoids algorithm was utilized to stably cluster the patients into five different immune subtypes. Among them, IS1/2 was cold tumor with low tumor mutation burden (TMB), immunogenic cell death (ICDs), and immune checkpoints (ICPs), and IS4/5 was hot tumor with high TMB, ICDs, and ICPs. Monocle3 package was used to evaluate the immune status similarity and evolution in glioma, which identified cluster IS2A/2B within IS2 subtype to be more suitable vaccination receivers. Weighted gene co‐expression network analysis identified five hub immune genes as the biomarkers of patients' immune status in glioma. In conclusion, NAT1, FRRS1, GTF2H2C, BRCA2, GRAP, NR5A2, ABCB4, ZNF90, ERCC6L, and ZNF813 are potential antigens suitable for glioma mRNA vaccine. IS1/2A/2B are suitable for mRNA vaccination.
