Abstract
The invention relates to methods for making vaccines using linkages that are cleavable under lysosomal processing conditions, and vaccine compositions obtained therefrom. In some embodiments, the vaccines comprise a tumor antigen, an immunogenic carrier and a linker covalently linking the tumor antigen and the immunogenic carrier by a thio ether linkage. Vaccines of preferred embodiments can be used against a cellular proliferative disease that is characterized by the tumor antigen.
