Combination immunotherapy has recently emerged as a powerful cancer treatment strategy. A promising treatment approach utilizes coadministration of antagonistic antibodies to block checkpoint inhibitor receptors, such as antiprogrammed cell death-1 (aPD1), alongside agonistic antibodies to activate costimulatory receptors, such as antitumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 4 (aOX40). Optimal T-cell activation is achieved when both immunomodulatory agents simultaneously engage T-cells and promote synergistic proactivation signaling. However, standard administration of these therapeutics as free antibodies results in suboptimal T-cell binding events, with only a subset of the T-cells binding to both aPD1 and aOX40. Here, it is shown that precise spatiotemporal codelivery of aPD1 and aOX40 using nanoparticles (NP) (dual immunotherapy nanoparticles, DINP) results in improved T-cell activation, enhanced therapeutic efficacy, and increased immunological memory. It is demonstrated that DINP elicits higher rates of T-cell activation in vitro than free antibodies. Importantly, it is demonstrated in two tumor models that combination immunotherapy administered in the form of DINP is more effective than the same regimen administered as free antibodies. This work demonstrates a novel strategy to improve combination immunotherapy using nanotechnology.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
