    IL-12 is a potent cytokine for cancer immunotherapy. However, its systemic delivery as a recombinant protein has shown unacceptable toxicity in the clinic. Currently, the intratumoral injection of IL-12-encoding mRNA or DNA to avoid such side effects is being evaluated in clinical trials. In this study, we aimed to improve this strategy by further favoring IL-12 tethering to the tumor. We generated <i>in vitro</i> transcribed mRNAs encoding murine single-chain IL-12 fused to diabodies binding to CSF1R and/or PD-L1. These targeted molecules are expressed in the tumor microenvironment, especially on myeloid cells. The binding capacity of chimeric constructs and the bioactivity of IL-12 were demonstrated <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i>. Doses as low as 0.5 μg IL-12-encoding mRNA achieved potent antitumor effects in subcutaneously injected B16-OVA and MC38 tumors. Treatment delivery was associated with increases in IL-12p70 and IFN-γ levels in circulation. Fusion of IL-12 to the diabodies exerted comparable efficacy against bilateral tumor models. However, it achieved tethering to myeloid cells infiltrating the tumor, resulting in nearly undetectable systemic levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ. Overall, tethering IL-12 to intratumoral myeloid cells in the mRNA-transferred tumors achieves similar efficacy while reducing the dangerous systemic bioavailability of IL-12.
