A dendritic cell (DC)-targeting M13 phage vaccine platform is provided herewith, where spy-tagged neoantigens can be attached to the phage surface with spy-catchers. By expressing DC-targeting peptides and spy-catchers as foreign antigens on the phage surface, its therapeutic and antigenic properties can be enhanced to combat solid cancers. SLS-spy catcher phage (SCP), with or without neoantigen conjugation, significantly repressed tumour growth by boosting systemic anti-tumour immunity and increasing intratumoral infiltration of both innate and adaptive immune cells. Intratumoral administration of SCP also hugely reduced PDL1 expression on tumour cells, making them more susceptible to immune attacks. Additionally, SCP administration restricted the size of blood vessels inside the tumour mass, suggesting multiple factors contribute to restrict tumour growth.

Soluble multispecific protein that binds a target peptide MHC complex on a target cell and a surface receptor on an immune cell, incorporating a half life extending region (eg., Fc region) attached via a cleavable linker.

Release of the active complex increases its potency for mediating T cell signalling at an immune synapse with tumour cells presenting the target pMHC.
