Abstract
Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible advantages of liposomes with high transition temperature (Tm) in the function of a vaccine for P5 HER2/neu-generated peptide and its adjuvant action to elicit CD8+ T cell response and its efficacy in TUBO in vivo tumor mice model, which over expresses the HER2/neu oncogene. P5, a hydrophobic peptide, was encapsulated in the nanoliposomes consisting of DSPC/DSPG/Chol(Tm 54°C) with a chaotropic loading system via 7M urea and described by size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, and the structural stability of SDS-PAGE.
Methods: We immunized the mice for three times subcutaneously based on a two-week intervals using encapsulated peptide in the nanoliposomes, empty liposome, P5 in PBS, and PBS. Enzyme-linked immunospot assay, cytotoxicity test, and flow cytometric studies followed by the size of tumor and survival time measurements, which were done in TUBO tumor mice version. Results: Findings of ELISpot and flow cytometric analysis showed that immunization with Lip-p5 nanoliposomes has enhanced the antigen-specific IFN-γ response of CD8+ T cells and induced CTL response, which resulted in a smaller tumor and longer survival time. In addition to increase in amounts of IFN-γ-CD8+ T cells in a group, which was immunized with Lip-P5, our findings also revealed a Th1 shift in the group immunized with an empty liposome with reduced frequencies of IL-4-producing cells and increase of IFN-γ-producing cells. Conclusion: The results indicated that simple liposomes consisting of phospholipids with high transition temperature could be an effective vaccine vehicle for tumor-associated antigens for inducing cell mediate immunity.Keywords: Cancer vaccine, cell mediated immunity, liposomes, nanoliposomes, P5 HER2/neu peptide, phase transition temperature.

Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
