PVAX promoted DC maturation and induced immune response in vitro and in vivo. a Transwell co-culture set-up for inducing dendritic cell (DC) maturation in vitro. b PVAX-induced DC maturation (CD11c+CD80+CD86+) in vitro, the vaccines was illuminated with 808 nm laser for 2.0 min at a photodensity of 2.0 W/cm2. Unpaired student’s t-test (two-tailed) was used for comparison between two groups. ***p < 0.01. Data represent mean ± s.d. (n = 3). c Photothermal effect of FK@IQ-4T1 vaccine in vivo. d The frequency of mature DCs (CD11c+CD80+CD86+) in draining LNs of BALB/c mice upon different treatments. Data represent mean ± s.d. (n = 3). e, g Serum concentrations of e TNF-α, f IFN-γ, and g IL-6 examined at the desired time points post treatment. h The frequency of serum CD8+ and CD4+ T cells examined 3 days post the indicated treatments. Unpaired student’s t-test (two-tailed) was used for comparison between two groups. ***p < 0.01. Data represent mean ± s.d. (n = 3)
