Stimulation of dendritic cells (DCs) by antigens (Ags) promotes an Ag-specific immune response that kills Ag-expressing pathogens. These biologically inspired nanocarriers have received much attention as tools to deliver cancer Ags to DCs. A polymer-templated protein nanoball having hemagglutinin (H1-NB) that mimics the influenza virus can be used as a cancer Ag delivery vehicle, as DCs show effective phagocytic activities against H1-NB without any adjuvant. In the present study, H1-NB containing ovalbumin (OVA), a model Ag (H1-OVA-NB), was prepared as an anti-cancer agent and evaluated for its effect on anticancer immunity. H1-OVA-NB treatments in C57BL/6 mice enhanced OVA-specific immune activation and efficiently inhibited B16-OVA tumor growth compared to control groups. Our results indicate that H1-NB is an effective carrier for Ag delivery to DCs and promotes immunotherapy to fight cancer.
