Light-Mediated In Situ Synchronous Capture of Antigens and Nucleic Acids as Nanovaccines to Boost Tumor Radioimmunotherapy
generated from Ce6 upon a 660 nm laser irradiation, fAuNPs-Ce6 nanoparticles can capture the tumor-derived protein antigens and nucleic acid fragments simultaneously through the furan-mediated covalent reactions with amino group or nucleobase, which significantly prolongs the retention time of antigens and adjuvants in the tumor microenvironment, promoting robust DC maturation without exogenous adjuvants and eliciting potent systemic antitumor immunity. More notably, these nanovaccines in combination with PD-L1 blockade can remarkably enhance the radiotherapeutic efficacy, achieving significant suppression of both primary and distant tumor growth. Therefore, this light-mediated in situ vaccination may offer a promising strategy for the precise treatment of malignant tumors.
