Targeting murine metastatic cancers with cholera toxin A1-adjuvanted peptide vaccines by Sanchari Paul, Mustafa Kaya, Olivia Johnsson, Hanna Grauers Wiktorin, Andreas Törnell, Mohammad Arabpour, Kristoffer Hellstrand, Anna Martner

“…We report that an adjuvant where CTA1 was fused to a dimer from Staphylococcus aureus protein A (DD) enhanced immune responses against the tumor-associated antigens TRP2 and Twist1 in mice, providing protection against B16F1 melanoma and 4T1 breast cancer metastasis, respectively. Both mucosal (intranasal) and systemic (intraperitoneal) vaccine administration provided effective protection against intravenously injected tumor cells, with intranasal administration leading to superior induction of CD4+ T cells at metastatic sites. …”
