Erythrocytes naturally capture certain bacterial pathogens in cir-culation, kill them through oxidative stress, and present them to the antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the spleen. By leveraging this innate immune function of erythrocytes, we developed erythrocyte-driven immune targeting (EDIT), which presents nanoparticles from the surface of erythrocytes to the APCs in the spleen. Antigenic nanoparticles were adsorbed on the erythrocyte surface. By engi-neering the number density of adsorbed nanoparticles, (i.e., the number of nanoparticles loaded per erythrocyte), they were pre-dominantly delivered to the spleen rather than lungs, which is con-ventionally the target of erythrocyte-mediated delivery systems. Presentation of erythrocyte-delivered nanoparticles to the spleen led to improved antibody response against the antigen, higher cen-tral memory T cell response, and lower regulatory T cell response, compared with controls. Enhanced immune response slowed down tumor progression in a prophylaxis model. These findings suggest that EDIT is an effective strategy to enhance systemic immunity.
