Rational design of innate defense regulator peptides as tumor vaccine adjuvants

Abstract The development of adjuvants has been an empirical process. Efforts to develop a new design and evaluation system for novel adjuvants are not only desirable but also necessary. Moreover, composite adjuvants that contain two or more types of adjuvants to synergistically enhance the immune re...
