Nanoparticle Therapeutic Vaccines for Cancer Treatment
Tech ID: 33994 / UC Case 2025-764-0
Brief Description
A
cutting-edge vaccine delivery platform that enhances tumor treatment by
co-delivering MHC class I and II restricted antigens.
Full Description
This
technology represents a novel approach in the field of immunotherapy,
specifically designed to combat aggressive cancers such as melanoma and colon
carcinoma. By utilizing nanoparticles to simultaneously deliver both MHC class
I and II restricted tumor antigens, this platform aims to induce a more potent
and specific anti-tumor immune response. This method addresses the limitations
of current cancer treatments by focusing on the activation and persistence of
cytotoxic T cells, thereby offering a promising strategy for the treatment of
persistent cancers.
Suggested uses
- Development of more effective cancer vaccines targeting both major T cell subsets for the treatment of melanoma and other aggressive cancers.
- Advancement in immunotherapy approaches by providing a more targeted and sustained anti-tumor immune response.
- Potential for application in a wide range of
cancer types, due to the universal strategy of targeting MHC class I and II
restricted antigens.
Advantages
- Improves anti-tumor immune response through co-delivery of MHC class I and II melanoma tumor-associated antigens.
- Enhances treatment efficacy over single-antigen nanoparticles by simultaneously delivering both MHC classes of tumor-associated antigens, demonstrating the importance of dual-antigen design.
- Alleviates severe side-effects associated with
current cancer therapies such as radioactive therapy.
