Popis: Remote-controlled drug depots represent a highly valuable tool for the timely controlled administration of pharmaceuticals in a patient compliant manner. Here, the first pharmacologically controlled material that allows for the scheduled induction of a medical response in mice is described. To this aim, a novel, humanized biohybrid material that releases its cargo in response to a small-molecule stimulus licensed for human use is developed. The functionality of the material in mice is demonstrated by the remote-controlled delivery of a vaccine against the oncogenic human papillomavirus type 16. It is shown that the biohybrid depot-mediated immunoprotection is equivalent to the classical multi-injection-based vaccination. These results indicate that this material can be used as a universal remote-controlled vehicle for the patient-compliant delivery of vaccines and pharmaceuticals.
