Peptide vaccines get an OS update

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

Peptide vaccines use antigenic peptide fragments to induce an immune response but are problematic because of the short half-life of peptides. A study now reports thioamide substitution in the peptide backbone as a strategy to enhance resistance to proteolysis and promote binding to the MHC I complex for T cell activation.
