Generation of a CD8(+) response to extracellular antigen requires processing of the antigen by antigen presenting cells (APC) and cross-presentation to CD8(+) T cell receptors via MHC class I molecules. Cross-presentation is facilitated by efficient antigen uptake followed by immune-complex-mediated maturation of the APCs. We hypothesize that improved antigen uptake of a glycopeptide sequence containing a CD8(+) T cell epitope could be achieved by delivering it on a liposome surface decorated with an immune complex-targeting ligand, an l-Rhamnose (Rha) epitope. We synthesized a 20-amino-acid glycopeptide TSAPDT(GalNAc)RPAPGSTAPPAHGV from the variable number tandem repeat region of the tumor marker MUC1 containing an N-terminal azido moiety and a tumor-associated a-N-acetyl galactosamine (GalNAc) at the immunogenic DTR motif. The MUC1 antigen was attached to Pam(3)Cys, a Toll-like receptor-2 ligand via copper(I)-catalyzed azido-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) chemistry. The Rha-decorated liposomal Pam(3)Cys-MUC1-Tn 4 vaccine was evaluated in groups of C57BL/6 mice. Some groups were previously immunized to generate anti-Rha antibodies. Anti-Rha antibody expressing mice that received the Rha liposomal vaccine showed higher cellular immunogenicity compared to the control group while maintaining a strong humoral response.
