In situ DC-primed vaccine combined with CD137 agonist elicits long-lasting antitumor immunity through cDC1-mediated tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>Intratumoral vaccines offer a promising avenue in cancer immunotherapy by harnessing the tumor microenvironment to stimulate immune responses. However, challenges persist in maximizing their effectiveness and addressing immune suppression within tumors.</p> Methods <p>Conventional in situ vaccine (CisVac) and &alpha;-CD137 antibody were administered in implanted mouse models of lung and colon cancer to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. The initiation mechanism of…
