Pentamers not found in the universal proteome can enhance antigen specific immune responses and adjuvant vaccines.

Pentamers not found in the universal proteome can enhance antigen specific immune responses and adjuvant vaccines.

Certain short peptides do not occur in humans and are rare or non-existent in the universal proteome. Antigens that contain rare amino acid sequences are in general highly immunogenic and may activate different arms of the immune system. We first generated a list of rare, semi-common, and common 5-m...
