This product is a IL-10 expressing oncolytic herpes simplex virus, which is based on HSV-1 with ICP34.5 and UNG deleted. ICP34.5 protein, is important for viral replication, viral exit from infected cells, prevention of the premature shut-off of protein synthesis in the infected host, and neurovirulence. Uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG, UDG) is the most abundant cellular enzyme encoded by the UL2 gene for removing uracil generated by hydrolytic deamination of cytosine or misincorporation of dUTP. The deletion of UDG may have contributed to lower rates of DNA repair during the passage or selection conditions. This product can be used in oncolytic virotherapy research and further recombinant HSV construction.

Backbone Background
Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), also known as human herpesvirus 1 and 2 (HHV-1 and HHV-2), are two members of the human Herpesviridae family, a set of viruses that produce viral infections in the majority of humans. Modified Herpes simplex virus is considered as a potential therapy for cancer and has been extensively clinically tested to assess its oncolytic ability.
Interleukin 10 (IL-10), also known as human cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF), is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. In humans, interleukin 10 is encoded by the IL10 gene. IL-10 signals through a receptor complex consisting of two IL-10 receptor-1 and two IL-10 receptor-2 proteins. Consequently, the functional receptor consists of four IL-10 receptor molecules. IL-10 binding induces STAT3 signalling via the phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic tails of IL-10 receptor 1 + IL-10 receptor 2 by JAK1 and Tyk2 respectively.
