B7-H3 is an immune checkpoint molecule overexpressed on the surface of a variety of tumors, and is is an ideal target for tumor immunotherapy. In this study, nitrolated T cell epitope designed in the early stage of the laboratory was used to construct an epitope vaccine that can target immune checkpoint B7-H3. The vaccine can significantly inhibit tumor growth in the CT26 colon cancer model, and has a significant synergistic effect with the PD-L1 protein vaccine. B7-H3 vaccine can increase the proportion of CD4+ T cells in splenic T lymphocytes and the proportion of CD8+ T cells in tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes, while reducing the proportion of suppressor Treg cells in tumor-infiltrating CD4+ T lymphocytes, which effectively improves tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Research results suggest that the B7-H3 epitope vaccine can be used as an effective tumor vaccine candidate molecule.

Objective To observe the clinical characteristics and treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) in leukemia patients.Methods This is a retrospective analysis. Seven leukemia patients (13 eyes) with CMVR were studied. All patients underwent examinations of visual acuity, slit lamp microscope, ophthalmoscope, color fundus photography, peripheral blood CD4+T cell count and serum/aqueous CMV-DNA test. All patients were treated with ganciclovir or zoledronic acid combined with intravitreal injection of ganciclovir. The follow-up period was 3-14 months.Results Six patients were treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and 1 patient was with chronic leukemia. All patients were CMV-DNA positive for serum, and 18.5% (2/7) for aqueous humor. CMVR in leukemia patients showed mild anterior segment inflammation, ocular fundus with irregular yellowish-white retinal necrosis and radial hemorrhage (7 eyes). Some (2 eyes) also shoed gray and white granular retinal infiltrates. Intravenous ganciclovir/zoledronic acid combined with intravitreal injection of high concentration ganciclovir was an effective treatment, while systemic corticosteroids were effective in reducing vitreous opacity.Conclusions CMVR is characterized by progressive necrotic retinitis with hemorrhage and vasculitis. Intravenous ganciclovir/zoledronic acid combined with intravitreal injection of ganciclovir is effective in the treatment of CMVR with leukemia.

Using the genetic code extension technology, the immunogenic amino acid, p-nitrophenylalanine, was introduced into the universal T cell epitope and then fused with the fragment of the extracellular region of the immune checkpoint molecular CD47(19-140)to construct a vaccine targeting CD47. The CD47-NitraTh vaccine elicited high titer antibody in BALB/c mice, significantly inhibited CT26 colon cancer cells growth, and increased the ratio of spleen CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells. Meanwhile, it promoted the polarization of naï ve T cells to Th1 cells. Notably, CD47-NitraTh not only increased the proportion of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes but also reduced the proportion of Treg cells in tumour tissues, which means that CD47-NitraTh vaccine can remodel the tumour immunosuppressive microenvironment. The results of this study suggested that CD47-NitraTh can be used as an effective tumour vaccine candidate.
