Core Tip	In this review we discuss the use of RNA encoding tumor antigens for anti-tumor vaccination. RNA has several features that makes it relevant for vaccination purposes. Importantly, the RNA has no possibility of integration into the genome, and the tumor translated proteins enter the intrinsic antigen processing pathway thus enabling presentation by MHC-I molecules thus specifically activating cytotoxic CD8 T. Further, RNA can be delivered as a naked molecule f or can be used to transfect dendritic cells. This combination of RNA technology with dendritic cell vaccination provides a powerful tool for cancer immunotherapies.
