Whole Blood Cells Loaded with Messenger RNA as an Anti‐Tumor Vaccine

Abstract: The use of a cell‐based vaccine composed of autologous whole blood cells loaded with mRNA is described. Mice immunized with whole blood cells loaded with mRNA encoding antigen develop anti‐tumor immunity comparable to DC‐RNA immunization. This approach offers a simple and affordable alternative to RNA‐based cellular therapy by circumventing complex, laborious and expensive ex vivo manipulations required for DC‐based immunizations.

“…Our results suggest that monocytes are the most potent cell type for this purpose. Previous studies have examined the induction of CTL responses by lymphocytes, whole blood cells, and total splenocytes (21,67,68). In the best of these cases, more than 10 7 cells are required to generate antitumor CTL responses equivalent to those induced by DC vaccines (21,67).…”

“…However, this method may disrupt the cell membrane and result in a partial and irreversible deterioration of the structural integrity 43 . Phosphatidylserine (PS), a signal to mononuclear-phagocyte system for uptake, was found to be externalized after electroporation treatment 41 . This would result in the reticuloendothelial system (RES) phagocytosis and greatly shorten the blood circulation time.…”

“…This is a cost, labor and resource intensive procedure. Because of these reasons, researchers have explored alternative cell-based approaches 10,11 , as well as direct in vivo injection of mRNA in naked 12,13 and nanoparticle formats [14][15][16][17][18][19] . However, due to rapid degradation of naked mRNA in vivo, direct injection of mRNA is effective only when it is injected directly into lymph nodes 12,13 .…”
