It is challenging for nanovaccines (NVs) to effectively deliver antigens/neoantigens to prime specifically potent immunities and remodel immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) for combating immune "cold" cancers. Herein, a novel kind of mannosylated fluoropolypeptide NVs of MFPCOFG (i.e., mannosylated fluoropoly( D,L -cysteine) ovalbumin-loaded Fe 2+ -gallic acid) is designed that synergistically integrates triple antigen-metal-thermoimmunity to remodel immunosuppressive TME and achieve highly potent immunities. MFPCOFG plus near-infrared irradiation (NIR) effectively facilitated antigen uptake and escape, induced the maturation and antigen cross-presentations of dendritic cells and macrophages, polarized anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype M2 into tumoricial M1, primed potent CD4 + /CD8 + T cells responses, proinflammatory cytokines secretion and immune memory effects, showcasing triple antigen-metal-thermoimmunity outperforming combo/mono-immunity. Importantly, both MFPCOFG + NIR and personalized NVs can remarkably enhance the tumor infiltration of CD4 + /CD8 + T and NK cells to boost potent immunities and long-lasting memory effects, reduce regulatory T (Tregs) and M2 to remodel immunosuppressive TME in B16-OVA and 4T1 models, achieving superior tumor prevention, ablation, and tumor relapse and metastasis inhibition, as further orchestrated with anti-PD-1. Consequently, this work opens up a new avenue to design biocompatible polypeptide nanovaccines with potent immune-priming and TME-remodeling capabilities, holding great potentials to combat immune "cold" cancers with clinic-used anti-PD-1 for cancer immunotherapy and personalized immunotherapy.
