Advantages and disadvantages of peptide vaccine. Peptide vaccine has several advantages over other therapies. Because epitope peptides are easy and considerably cheaper to synthesize, peptide vaccine is highly cost-effective than other immunotherapies such as checkpoint inhibitors and ACT therapy. This therapy can be utilized in any hospitals or clinics because of no requirement of cell processing. The MHC restriction of epitope would be a potential disadvantage by using peptide as an antigen.
