For nanovaccine-based cancer immunotherapy, dendritic cells (DCs) are one of the most powerful antigen presenting cells (APCs) that initiate and promote the maturation of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (e.g., CD8(+) T cells) to induce the local and systemic antitumor immunity and further suppress the tumor metastasis and produce long-term protection against tumor. Thus, the activation and maturation of DCs is the prerequisite for efficient CD8(+) T cell-based antitumor immune responses, which is considered as a primary and promising task for nanovaccine engineering. Herein, we introduce a versatile nanovaccine of liposomes-coated gold nanocages (Lipos-AuNC5) Modified with DCs specific antibody aCD11c for targeted delivery of adjuvant MPLA and melanoma antigen peptide TRP2 to promote the activation and maturation of DCs, and enhance tumor specific T lymphocytes responses. Moreover, AuNCs accumulation and AuNCs-engulfed DCs migration to regional lymph nodes (RLNs) became realtime visualization through in vivo fluorescence and photoacoustic (PA) imaging to monitor the immunity process. In vivo experimental results demonstrated that the targeted antigen/adjuvants-loaded AuNCs exhibited enhanced antitumor immune response to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis in both B16-F10 prophylactic and lung metastasis models, which may act as a promising nanoplatform for antitumor immunotherapy and in vivo tracking.
