Sequential Barrier Navigation by Yeast β-Glucan-Engineered Liposomal Nanovaccines Potentiates Oral Melanoma Immunotherapy

Purpose

Orally delivered protein antigens face gastrointestinal degradation and inefficient transport through mucus, across the intestinal epithelium, and into antigen-presenting cells (APCs). To address these barriers, we developed YGB@OVA/PBA-C-LIPs, an ovalbumin (OVA)-loaded cationic liposomal nanovaccine coated with yeast β-glucan (YGB) and functionalized with phenylboronic acid (PBA).
