| Abstract: | Tumor vaccines, a crucial immunotherapy, have gained growing interest because of their unique capability to initiate precise anti-tumor immune responses and establish enduring immune memory. Injected tumor vaccines passively diffuse to the adjacent draining lymph nodes, where the residing antigen-presenting cells capture and present tumor antigens to T cells. This process represents the initial phase of the immune response to the tumor vaccines and constitutes a pivotal determinant of their effectiveness. Nevertheless, the granularity paradox, arising from the different requirements between the passive targeting delivery of tumor vaccines to lymph nodes and the uptake by antigen-presenting cells, diminishes the efficacy of lymph node-targeting tumor vaccines. This study addressed this challenge by employing a vaccine formulation with a tunable, controlled particle size. Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoparticles were synthesized, loaded with ovalbumin (OVA), and modified with A50 or T20 DNA single strands to obtain MnO2/OVA/A50 and MnO2/OVA/T20, respectively. Administering the vaccines sequentially, upon reaching the lymph nodes, the two vaccines converge and simultaneously aggregate into MnO2/OVA/A50-T20 particles through base pairing. This process enhances both vaccine uptake and antigen delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that, the combined vaccine, comprising MnO2/OVA/A50 and MnO2/OVA/T20, exhibited robust immunization effects and remarkable anti-tumor efficacy in the melanoma animal models. The strategy of controlling tumor vaccine size and consequently improving tumor antigen presentation efficiency and vaccine efficacy via the DNA base-pairing principle, provides novel concepts for the development of efficient tumor vaccines.
