Tumor vaccine based on extracellular vesicles derived from γδ-T cells exerts dual antitumor activities.

ABSTRACT: γδ-T cells are innate-like T cells with dual antitumor activities. They can directly eradicate tumor cells and function as immunostimulatory cells to promote antitumor immunity. Previous studies have demonstrated that small extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from γδ-T cells (γδ-T-EVs) inherited the dual antitumor activities from their parental cells. However, it remains unknown whether γδ-T-EVs can be designed as tumors vaccine to improve therapeutic efficacy. Here, we found that γδ-T-EVs had immune adjuvant effects on antigen-presenting cells, as revealed by enhanced expression of antigen-presenting and co-stimulatory molecules, secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and antigen-presenting ability of DCs after γδ-T-EVs treatment. The γδ-T-EVs-based vaccine was designed by loading tumor
