Summary: Metastatic cancers and recurrent cancers are diverse, different from primary cancers, and organ-dependent. However, how strong are across-cancer immune responses among different types of cancers remain unclear. Herein, vaccines-encapsulated-whole-components-of-tumor-tissue (VEWCOTT) were applied to demonstrate the across-cancer immune responses, thanks to inducing pan-clones T-cell immune responses. Either lung-cancer-tissue- or melanoma-tissue-based VEWCOTT simultaneously prevented melanoma, lung cancer, hepatoma, and metastatic cancer, which showed that strong across-cancer immune responses were induced. Both nanovaccines and microvaccines showed potent across-cancer prevention efficacy. VEWCOTT induced tumor-specific T cells in peripheral immune organs and major organs, and adjusted the immune-microenvironment of cancer-colonized organs. In addition, the allograft of T cells from VEWCOTT immunized mice to allogeneic naive mice efficiently prevent various cancers. Many neoantigens are shared by melanoma cells and lung cancer cells. Across-cancer immune responses exist among different types of cancers, and thus VEWCOTT has the advantage of simultaneously preventing cancer metastasis and cancers in different organs.
