Activation of Cellular Players in Adaptive Immunity via Exogenous Delivery of Tumor Cell Lysates

Tumor cell lysates (TCLs) are a good immunogenic source of tumor-associated antigens. Since whole necrotic TCLs can enhance the maturation and antigen-presenting ability of dendritic cells (DCs), multiple strategies for the exogenous delivery of TCLs have been investigated as novel cancer immunother...

description Tumor cell lysates (TCLs) are a good immunogenic source of tumor-associated antigens. Since whole necrotic TCLs can enhance the maturation and antigen-presenting ability of dendritic cells (DCs), multiple strategies for the exogenous delivery of TCLs have been investigated as novel cancer immunotherapeutic solutions. The TCL-mediated induction of DC maturation and the subsequent immunological response could be improved by utilizing various material-based carriers. Enhanced antitumor immunity and cancer vaccination efficacy could be eventually achieved through the in vivo administration of TCLs. Therefore, (1) important engineering methodologies to prepare antigen-containing TCLs, (2) current therapeutic approaches using TCL-mediated DC activation, and (3) the significant sequential mechanism of DC-based signaling and stimulation in adaptive immunity are summarized in this review. More importantly, the recently reported developments in biomaterial-based exogenous TCL delivery platforms and co-delivery strategies with adjuvants for effective cancer vaccination and antitumor effects are emphasized.
