Can anybody explain how a peptide vaccine works? Does it bin to free MHC
molecules on a cell surface (as I have read)? I'm sure it must work also by
starightforward phagocytosis by APCs. If this is so, are they degraded or do
you have to administer them in a form that is degraded into the final
immunogenic peptide?
Please help, I need this for my dissertation yet I cannot fing any reference
as to how they are expressed by APC's.
