Tumor vaccine has shown outstanding advantages and good therapeutic effects in tumor immunotherapy. However, antigens in tumor vaccines can be easily cleared by the reticuloendothelium system in advance, which leads to poor therapeutic effect of tumor vaccines. Moreover, it was still hard to monitor the fate and distribution of antigens. To address these limitations, we synthesized a traceable nanovaccine based on gold nanocluster-labeled antigens and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for the treatment of melanoma in this study. PH-sensitive Schiff base bond is introduced between UCNPs and gold nanocluster-labeled ovalbumin antigens for monitoring antigens release. Our studies demonstrated that UCNPs conjugated metallic antigen showed excellent biocompatibility, pH-sensitive and therapeutic effect.
