Advantages

Assembly via interparticle DNA annealing; dissociation triggered by tumor microenvironment strand separation

Induces endogenous retrovirus expression and immunogenic cell death in tumor cells

Synergistically promotes dendritic cell maturation and CD8+ T cell activation

Overcomes tumor resistance to immune checkpoint blockade therapy
