Functional nanovesicles displaying anti-PD-L1 antibodies for programmed photoimmunotherapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Photoimmunotherapy is one of the most promising strategies in tumor immunotherapies, but targeted delivery of photosensitizers and adjuvants to tumors remains a major challenge. Here, as a proof of concept, we describe bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived nanovesicles (NVs) displaying anti-PD-L1 antibodies (aPD-L1) that were genetically engineered for targeted drug delivery.

Results

The high affinity and specificity between aPD-L1 and tumor cells allow aPD-L1 NVs to selectively deliver photosensitizers to cancer tissues and exert potent directed photothermal ablation. The tumor immune microenvironment was programmed via ablation, and the model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) was designed to fuse with aPD-L1. The corresponding membrane vesicles were then extracted as
