PNx6 is a modular, self-assembling and self-adjuvanting peptide-based vaccine candidate that is cold-chain independent. Each peptide building blocks consist of a linear arrangement comprising a 15-leucine (15L) self-assembly inducer moiety, a 15 amino acid Mtb epitope and a 9 amino acids HLA-E binding moiety, with each moiety separated by a triple lysine spacer.
