Reprogramming the melanoma tumor immune microenvironment via combinatorial signal 2/3 gene delivery

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Introduction <p>An adaptive immune response to cancer requires three main signals: antigen presentation and recognition ("signal 1"), costimulation ("signal 2"), and secreted immunostimulatory cytokines ("signal 3"). Expression of these signals in tumors via non-viral gene delivery represents a promising strategy to reprogram the tumor microenvironment (TME) and prime antitumor immunity.</p> Methods <p>We used modular polymeric poly(beta-amino ester)-based nanoparticles (NPs) to…
