Nanoparticulate vaccine inhibits tumor growth via improved T cell recruitment

This collaborative study between labs in Portugal and Israel describes the development of a vaccine based on polymeric nanoparticles and the analysis of its interaction with targeted immune cells. This vaccine was able to extensively enhance the infiltration of T cells into the tumor microenvironment, which dramatically inhibited the disease progression in mouse models of melanoma and mammary carcinoma. 

Nanoparticulate vaccine inhibits tumor growth via improved T cell recruitment

Este estudo descreve o desenvolvimento de uma vacina composta por nanopartículas e a caracterização da interacção desta imunoterapia com as células imunológicas alvo. Esta vacina induziu uma extensa infiltração de linfócitos T no tumor, e inibiu significativamente a progressão desta doença em modelos animais de melanoma e cancro da mama.
