- This thesis contributes to cancer immunotherapy by developing innovative cancer vaccine platforms using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and potent adjuvants to boost immunogenicity and efficacy. It begins with a review of vaccine technologies developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on LNPs for mRNA delivery and immune adjuvants. The research introduces ionizable biscarbamate lipids (IBLs), identifying S-Ac7-DOG as a top candidate for mRNA expression. A method for formulating peptide antigens and a TLR7/8 agonist into LNPs is presented, showing a strong CD8+ T cell response and protective tumor immunity. The study also finds that LNP formulations, particularly LNP(poly(I:C)), outperform soluble forms in stimulating immune responses. Additionally, a universal peptide encapsulation technology is developed, significantly enhancing CD8+ T cell responses when co-delivering peptides with TLR agonists. The work highlights its relevance to advancing personalized neoantigen vaccines, which offer tumor specificity and fewer off-target effects.
