The present invention provides compositions and methods for generating and cryopreserving dendritic cells with superior functionality in producing stronger signals to T cells, resulting in a more potent DC-based anti-tumor vaccine. The present invention includes mature, antigen loaded DCs activated by Toll-like receptor agonists that induce clinically effective immune responses, preferably when used earlier in the disease process. The DCs of the present invention produce desirable levels of cytokines and chemokines, and further have the capacity to induce apoptosis of tumor cells. The cells can be cryopreserved and thawed for later use, thereby reducing the need for repeated pheresis and elutriation processes during vaccine production. These methods can also be utilized to directly target molecules involved in carcinogenetic signaling pathways and cancer stem cells.

It has been discovered that reducing, inhibiting or preventing the expression of immunosuppressive cytokines or tolergenic agents in antigen presenting cells improves the ability of the antigen presenting cell to promote an immune response. One embodiment provides a genetically engineered antigen presenting cell that has reduced or no expression of IL-10. Preferred antigen presenting cells are dendritic cells. Expression of IL-10 can be inhibited or blocked by genetically engineering the antigen presenting cell to express inhibitory nucleic acids that inhibit or prevent the expression mRNA encoding immunosuppressive cytokines. Inhibitory nucleic acids include siRNA, antisense RNA, antisense DNA, microRNA, and enzymatic nucleic acids that target mRNA encoding immunosuppressive cytokines. Immunosuppressive cytokines include, but are not limited to IL-10, TGF-β, IL-27, IL-35, or combinations thereof. Tolerogenic agents include but are not limited to indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase.

The invention discloses a Thomsen-Friedenreich (TF) antigen and a TF antigen analogue and their chemoenzymatic synthesis method and use. The chemoenzymatic synthesis method comprises the following steps of 1, carrying out chemosynthesis of fluorogalactose and a fluoro-galactosamine analogue, 2, carrying out enzymatic synthesis of a fluoro-TF antigen, and 3, carrying out enzymatic synthesis of a sialyl TF antigen. The preparation method has flexibility of a chemosynthesis method, and high regioselectivity and high efficiency of an enzymatic synthesis method, creatively realizes enzymatic synthesis of the fluoro-TF antigen, and solves the problem that the existing fluoro-TF antigen chemosynthesis method has low substrate reactivity, complex synthesis steps and a low yield. A tumor-associated fluoro-carbohydrate antigen is superior to a natural carbohydrate antigen in pharmacokinetic properties and thus the preparation method has wide application prospects in development of a novel anti-tumor vaccine.

The invention provides a monophosphate A conjugated-Tn anti-tumor vaccine. The monophosphate A conjugated-Tn anti-tumor vaccine is a compound shown in a formula (I), namely Y-L-X(I).
