Preferred Label : Neoantigen Peptide Vaccine;
NCIt definition : A peptide-based cancer vaccine consisting of patient-specific antigens, which are
immunogenic and unique to the patient's tumor, with potential immunomodulating and
antineoplastic activities. Upon vaccination with the neoantigen peptide vaccine, the
peptides stimulate the host immune system to mount a specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte
(CTL) response against tumor cells expressing the neoantigens, which results in tumor
cell lysis.;
