neoantigen-HSP70 peptide cancer vaccine AGEN2017

A proprietary, personalized autologous synthetic cancer vaccine composed of patient-specific synthetic cancer neo-epitopes complexed with heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70; HSP70), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration of the neoantigen-HSP70 peptide cancer vaccine AGEN2017, the HSPs present the neoantigens to antigen presenting cells (APCs) and help elicit a potent neoantigen-specific T-cell-based anti-tumor immune response, thereby killing the neoantigen-expressing cancer cells. HSP70 is able to the transport the neo-epitopes, activate APCs and enhance the T-cell-mediated immune response.
