Immunostimulatory DNA Tetrahedron‐Based Nanovaccine Combined With Immune Checkpoint PD‐1 Blockade for Boosting Systemic Immune Responses Against Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Aggregate, EarlyView.
This study introduces an immunomodulatory DNA tetrahedral framework nucleic acid‐based nanovaccine tFNA‐CpG. The functionalized nanovaccine shows stable and well‐defined morphological characteristics and can be efficiently taken up by APCs. When combined with the immune checkpoint inhibitor anti‐PD‐1, it notably ameliorated the immunosuppressive ...
