Formulations Pros (+) Cons (-)
· Whole tumor cell
· Tumor lysate
· Antigen-presenting
cell
- High immunogenicity
- Control of antigen
presentation
- Expensive and difficult to produce
- Risk of leukapheresis (vascular injury,
electrolyte imbalance)
· Protein
· Peptide
- Low toxicity
- Easy to produce
- Low/moderate immunogenicity
- Peptide-based: restricted to the HLA
subtype
- Protein-based: expensive to produce
· Virus
· Bacterium
- High immunogenicity
- Easy to produce on
large scale
- Potential high toxicity
- Risk of undesired infections
- Immune response against the vector
· DNA
· RNA
- Easy delivery of
multiple antigens
- Induction of cellular
and humoral immunity
- Not restricted to HLA-
patient type
- RNA vaccines: specific
transportation/storage condition required
- DNA and RNA vaccines: pooly
immunogenic in humans
