Background
The interferon stimulating gene (STING) is an important cellular receptor and is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum of a variety of immune cells and other cells. After STING is combined with the stimulator, the expression of immune molecules such as I-type interferon can be induced, and the immune response of the organism is started. Cyclic Dinucleotides (CDNs) are natural agonists of STING, which can interact with STING and cause activation of immune cells. The activated immune cells can generate I-type interferon and the like, can promote the organism to rapidly remove pathogens, and is also beneficial to presenting antigen to APCs and sensitizing effector T cells, thereby killing tumor cells. Thus, STING stimulators have an important role in anti-tumor therapy. However, natural CDNs have poor stability and low ability to cross cell membranes, and thus their use is limited.

3、Pam 3 CSK 4 -CDG SF @ EXO treatment of tumors.
Using Pam 3 CSK 4 -CDG SF The @ EXO immune tumor-bearing mice can effectively improve the survival rate of the tumor-bearing mice (shown in figure 7).
4、Pam 3 CSK 4 -CDG SF EXO is used in combination with immune checkpoint therapy to treat tumors.
Using Pam 3 CSK 4 -CDG SF Exosome vaccines can better inhibit tumor growth by combining with immune checkpoint therapy by immunizing tumor-bearing mice twice with EXO-PD 1 and prolonging mice survival (as shown in fig. 8 and 9).
Blank control group: PBS (phosphate buffered saline)
Immune checkpoint therapy group: anti-PD1
Exosome load Pam 3 CSK 4 -CDG SF Group: pam 3 CSK 4 -CDG SF @EXO
Combination therapy group Pam 3 CSK 4 -CDG SF @EXO+anti-PD1。
The experimental results show that: exosome load Pam 3 CSK 4 -CDG SF The mice had higher survival rates, smaller tumor volumes, and slower tumor growth than the anti-PD-1 and placebo groups. The combination treatment group showed more excellent effects.
