Abstract
and induced the increase of dendritic cells, M1 macrophages, and effector T cells in the spleen. Subcutaneous administration of these liposomes induced antigen-specific cellular immunity, resulting in strong therapeutic effects in tumor-bearing mice. These results suggest that separate incorporation of glycopeptides and pH-responsive polysaccharides into antigen-loaded liposomes is an effective strategy to produce liposome-based nanovaccines to achieve antigen cross-presentation and induction of cellular immunity towards cancer immunotherapy.
