Robust anti-tumor T cell response with efficient intratumoral infiltration by nanodisc cancer immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Potent anti-tumor T cell response and efficient intratumoral T cell infiltration are the major challenges for therapeutic cancer vaccines. To address these issues, a nano-vaccine system has been designed to promote anti-tumor T cell responses, and intratumoral infiltration was examined in various murine tumor models. Subcutaneous vaccination with nanodiscs carrying human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 E7 antigen elicits as high as ~32% E7-specific CD8 α + T cell responses in circulation, representing a 29-fold improvement over the soluble peptide vaccination. Importantly, nanodisc vaccination also promotes robust intratumoral T cell infiltration and eliminates HPV16 E6/E7-expressing TC-1 tumors at mucosal sites, including lungs, inner lip, and intravaginal tissues. In a benchmark study with a liv
