Low response rate of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has limited its clinical application. A promising strategy to overcome this limitation is the use of therapeutic cancer vaccines, which aim to induce robust immune responses that synergize with ICB through immune enhancement and immune normalization strategies. Herein, we developed a combination immunotherapy by combining nano-vaccines consisting of whole tumor cell lysates/CpG liposomes (LCLs) with an anti-PD-L1 loaded lipid gel ( [email?protected] ). The LCLs were fabricated using cationic liposomes, while the lipid gels (LGs) were prepared by using soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and glycerol dioleate (GDO). Subcutaneous administration of LCLs successfully activated dendritic cells (DCs), and intratumoral administration of [email?protected] ensured sustained ICB activity. These results demonstrated that this combination immunotherapy enhanced anti-tumor efficacy and prolonged the survival time in melanoma by activating systemic anti-tumor immune responses. These findings highlight the potential of this rational design as a promising strategy for tumor treatment.
