The present invention belongs to the technical field of
cancer immunotherapy, and particularly relates to a
cholesterol-modified
cationic liposome tumor vaccine, a preparation method therefor, and use thereof. In order to solve the problems of poor targeting and strong side effects of
TLR agonists in anti-tumor treatment, the present invention provides a
cationic liposome prepared from a
cholesterol-modified 1V209 molecule, a cationic lipid component,
cholesterol, and DSPE-PEG2000, and then the
cationic liposome and
ovalbumin 5 form the tumor vaccine by
electrostatic adsorption. Animal experiments show that the vaccine can induce
antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, activate lymphocytes, and generate stronger
antigen cross-presentation, more memory T cells, antibodies, and cytokines. Prophylactic
inoculation with the vaccine can significantly
delay the progression of
mouse melanoma and
lymphoma and prolong the survival of mice. The combination use of the vaccine and a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor can further enhance the anti-tumor effect. Therefore, the vaccine is a promising
cancer vaccine.
