The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for the improved activation of cells of the immune system that comprise a biocompatible implantable and an active pharmaceutical ingredient to be integrated into said foam, wherein said composition specifically activates cells of the immune system. In one preferred embodiment, said active pharmaceutical ingredient is selected from endogenous antigens that are selected from tumor-associated antigens. Said foam material can be implanted into a subject in order to produce the pharmaceutical composition in situ. Preferably, said pharmaceutical composition can be present in the form of an artificial lymph node, wherein said artificial lymph node functions as a reservoir for cells of the immune system.
