Research Abstract |
Ultrasound (US) exposure to tumor tissue which was intratumorally injected nanobubbles (Bubble liposomes(BLs)), could induce anti-tumor effect by heating and shock waves derived from disruption of BLs. In addition, we found that strong tumor-specific immunity was induced by intratumoral injection of dendritic cells (DCs) after US therapy with BLs. The combination of US therapy with nanobubbles and DC-based immunotherapy efficiently suppressed tumor growth. Therefore, this might be a useful strategy for cancer therapy.
