Document Summary
Peptide and protein nanocluster vaccines are a relatively new type of vaccine that have shown promise in the fight against diseases like cancer and infectious diseases. These vaccines are made up of small peptides or proteins that are self-assembled into nanoclusters, which are then used to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the targeted disease. One of the main advantages of peptide and protein nanocluster vaccines is their ability to target specific antigens on the surface of disease-causing cells. This targeted approach allows the vaccine to selectively stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the specific antigens, rather than inducing a more general immune response. As a result, peptide and protein nanocluster vaccines are able to provide more precise and effective immunity against the targeted disease. Another advantage of peptide and protein nanocluster vaccines is their stability and durability.
