Low efficacy of peptide vaccines limits their potential application. We developed a powerful strategy to produce epitope-specific antibodies using peptides. Immunization with novel formula into mice showed target-specific prophylactic and therapeutic effects against tumors. Our strategy will be useful for rapid eiptope screening, therapeutic antibody production and cancer vaccine development.
肽疫苗的低功效限制了它们的潜在应用。我们开发了一种利用肽产生表位特异性抗体的有效策略。用新型配方免疫小鼠显示出针对肿瘤的靶向特异性预防和治疗效果。我们的策略将有助于快速进行表位筛选、治疗性抗体生产和癌症疫苗开发。
