Coarse-grained molecular dynamics-guided immunoinformatics to explain the binder and non-binder classification of Cytotoxic T-cell epitope for SARS-CoV-2 peptide-based vaccine discovery.

Epitope-based peptide vaccine can elicit T-cell immunity against SARS-CoV-2 to clear the infection. However, finding the best epitope from the whole antigen is challenging. A peptide screening using immunoinformatics usually starts from MHC-binding peptide, immunogenicity, cross-reactivity with the human proteome, to toxicity analysis.

Phase I trial of Lipovaxin-MM, a novel dendritic cell-targeted liposomal vaccine for malignant melanoma.

Introduction: In this phase I study using a 3 + 3 dose escalation design, the safety, dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), immunogenicity and efficacy of intravenous Lipovaxin-MM-a multi-component dendritic cell-targeted liposomal vaccine against metastatic melanoma-was investigated.

Methods: Twelve subjects with metastatic cutaneous melanoma were recruited in three cohorts. Patients in Cohort A (n = 3) and Cohort B (n = 3) received three doses of 0.
