The investigated immunotherapy is based on injecting nanoparticles loaded with various immunologically active molecules (immunomodulatory nanoparticles) that can modulate the immune system to attack cancer cells more efficiently. The effectiveness of this immunomodulatory nanoparticles have been studied on different mouse cancer models and investigated as a single treatment or in combination with other known therapies, such as chemotherapy, therapeutic cancer vaccination, or photodynamic therapy.
