Dendritic cell (DC)-based immunotherapy has been hampered by the lack of suitable methods for antigen delivery. Here, we use biodegradable poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) microspheres (PLGA-MS) as carriers of peptides and proteins for antigen delivery to human monocyte-derived DC (MoDC). Compared to soluble proteins, MHC classes I and II-restricted presentation of PLGA-MS-encapsulated proteins and peptides by MoDC was markedly prolonged and proteins were presented 50-fold more efficiently on class I molecules. The vaccination of mice with DC loaded with PLGA-MS-encapsulated proteins raised strong and persisting cytotoxic T cell responses. In conclusion, antigen delivery via PLGA-MS markedly enhanced the duration of antigen presentation by human MoDC and the potency of DC-based vaccination.
