| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To optimize the tumor-specific anti-tumor immune response, several nanoparticles with different composition, structure, morphology and size were synthesized. The physicochemical properties, in vitro immunogenic activity and in vivo immunogenic activity were studied. The results showed that the immunogenic activity of the nanoparticles can be controlled by their composition, structure, morphology and size. The combination of mesoporous silica and anti-CTLA4 antibody, increased antigen-presenting cell accumulation at injection site, decreased CTLA4+ expression and increased IFNγ+ expression in T cells of mice, inhibited both treated and untreated tumor growth, indicating the combination of mesoporous silica and anti-CTLA4 antibody not only broke immunosuppression but also stimulated specific anti-cancer immunity.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、がんワクチンアジュバントの構造、形態、サイズを最適化し、がんワクチンアジュバントに組み合わせる免疫チェックポイント阻害剤やがん抗原や免疫刺激物質を最適化することで、がん抗原特異的抗腫瘍免疫の増強と免疫抑制の是正を同時に実現できることを示した。研究成果はがん免疫治療技術を飛躍的に向上させるものと期待できる。
