Enhanced antitumor immunity of mRNA vaccines by bioorthogonal-like delayed activation of exogeneous STING

A study demonstrates lipid nanoparticle vaccines that delay STING activation to preserve antigen expression and boost localized antitumor immunity.

Key Takeaways
  • DMXAA release is controlled by a biodegradable linker
  • Intratumoral or subcutaneous LNPs are preferentially internalized by myeloid cells
  • Syn-STING vaccine elicits robust adaptive responses and Th1-biased T cell immunity
