AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Direct injection of existing mRNA tumor vaccine adjuvants such as IL-12 protein causes serious side effects. How to limit IL-12 to peripheral lymphoid tissues without affecting the adjuvant effect, reduce systemic toxicity, and improve the immune effect of tumor vaccines?

Method used

An mRNA tumor vaccine encoding a membrane-bound IL-12 cytokine adjuvant is designed to allow IL-12 to be expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells. By adding a cell membrane-anchored IL-12 sequence to the mRNA, the release of IL-12 in peripheral lymphoid tissues is restricted.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improved the therapeutic effect of mRNA tumor vaccines, reduced the systemic toxicity of IL-12 protein, and enhanced the safety and efficacy of anti-tumor immune responses.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an mRNA tumor vaccine encoding a membrane-tethered IL-12 cytokine adjuvant and uses thereof, which reduces IL-12 toxicity and improves the therapeutic efficacy of the mRNA tumor vaccine. The mRNA comprises three components: an IL-12-encoding sequence (IL12), a membrane-domain-encoding sequence (MD), and a tumor-antigen-encoding sequence (Ag).
