Cancer vaccine

Provided herein are systems, compositions, and methods for generating immunogenic peptides or epitopes from tumor associated antigens (e.g., in vivo or ex vivo). Polynucleotides (e.g., genes) encoding the tumor associated antigens may be edited at selected target sites by nucleobase editors comprising a catalytically-inactive Cas9 and a cytosine deaminase, leading to the expression of heteroclitic or cryptic peptides that are more immunogenic than the native peptide derived from the tumor associated antigens. The heteroclitic or cryptic peptide elicit strong tumor-specific immune response (e.g., T-cell response or B-cell response), which inhibits tumor growth and metastasis.
