RESUMO
Neoantigen-based tumor vaccines have been applied in patient-specific melanoma-derived immunogenic mutated epitopes (neoantigens), with potential antineoplastic and immunomodulating effects. Yet, their use is limited by different physicochemical properties and poor pharmacokinetics. Herein, we constructed a human serum albumin-based dual adjuvant neoantigen nanovaccine loaded with imiquimod and magnesium. Magnesium, in coordination with imiquimod, could greatly activate dendritic and T cells. After subcutaneous injection, the nanovaccine effectively targeted tumor-draining lymph nodes (LNs) and promoted the presentation of neoantigens, thus generating a large number of effector T cells. In the B16F10 mouse melanoma prevention model, the nanovaccine effectively inhibited tumor growth and prolonged the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. To sum up, this new neoantigen nanovaccine could be used as a new method for targeting melanoma and may be potentially applied in clinical work.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor technology is widely applied in the detection of organophosphate pesticides in agricultural production via the inhibition of AChE activity by organophosphates. However, the AChE electrode has some drawbacks, such as low stability and high overpotential. Combining the advantages of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and ionic liquids, we constructed a novel bienzyme electrode [Cl/iron porphyrin (FePP)-modified MWCNTs/AChE/glassy carbon electrode], which included AChE and mimetic oxidase FePP. In this electrode, FePP is covalently bound to the AChE carrier via ionic liquid for increased electrode sensitivity and stability. Under optimal conditions, this novel biosensor has a monocrotophos detection limit of 3.2 × 10-11 mol/L and good recovery of 89-104%. After 5 weeks of storage at 4 °C, the oxidation current was 97.8% of its original value. The biosensor has high stability and sensitivity for monocrotophos detection and is a promising device for monitoring food safety.
