Ideal blocking peptide characteristics
| Shortest amino acid sequence disrupting single protein-protein interaction |
| Adequate uptake by target cell/tissue |
| Short serum half-life |
| Prolonged biological half-life |
| Minimally antigenic (HLA haplotype matching might reduce antigenicity, especially if repeated peptide doses are administered) |
HLA, human leukocyte antigen.
