Table 3.

Lessons can be learned from immune checkpoint inhibitors to cancer vaccines

Cancer Vaccine Major Challenges Strategies
Low antigenicity Targeting neo-antigens:
1. targeting multiple immunogenic neo-antigens;
2. targeting clonal neo-antigens;
3. develop cancer vaccines from immune checkpoint inhibitor responsive tumor tissues.
Combine with immune checkpoint inhibitors:
4. culturing tumor cells with IFN-γ containing medium ahead;
5. genetically manipulate tumor cells to secret IFN-γ ahead;
6. delete the expressing of PD-L1 on tumor cell vaccine.
