stresses within the tumor microenvironment mediate post-translational modifications of self-proteins. ****citrullination is the conversion of lysine residues to ****citrulline which can generate neoepitopes and bypass self-tolerance. modi2, a ****citrullinated peptide-snapvax vaccine, stimulates strong th1 responses and anti-tumor immunity in three different murine tumor models. we propose the modi-2 vaccine formulation has potential for translation into clinic in several cancer indications.
