How Tumors Evade Peptide Vaccines: Immune Escape

Tumors evade peptide vaccines through MHC downregulation, antigen loss, and immunosuppressive microenvironments. Here is what studies show about each mechanism.

Peptide Vaccine Challenges

The HLA Problem in Peptide Vaccines

Why peptide vaccines cannot work for everyone: HLA polymorphism means each person presents different peptides to their immune system. 28,000+ alleles, one vaccine.

Why Peptide Vaccines Are Hard

Peptide vaccines face HLA restriction, immune evasion, and weak immunogenicity. Here is what research shows about these barriers and how to overcome them.
