Abstract
In this study, we constructed a macrocycle-based vaccine system driving antigen accumulation in lymph nodes. The capabilities of antigen delivery and immune activation as vaccine adjuvants are based on three positively charged water-soluble biphen[3]arenes (WP 3s: WTP3, WQP3, and WPP3) with different cavity sizes were synchronously investigated. Compared to the OVA group, WTP3, WQP3, and WPP3 exhibited a significant increase in the IgG antibody titer by ∼ 2.3 × 102-, 2.7 × 103-, and 7.6 × 103-fold, respectively. Therefore, we are convinced that biphen[3]arenes with larger cavity sizes not only demonstrate enhanced protein loading and binding capacity in vitro, but also manifest prolonged antigen retention time and heightened immune activation ability in vivo. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the initial exploration of the impact of macrocyclic cavity sizes on the efficiency of antigen delivery as well as its potential influence on immune response capabilities.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
