IL-4-expressing Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (ΔICP10PK), IE4/5-IL-4(Cat#: CyOV-0350XY)

This product is a IL-4 expressing oncolytic herpes simplex virus, which is based on HSV-2 with ICP10PK deleted. The herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) protein ICP10PK has anti-apoptotic activity independent of other viral proteins that ICP10 PK-induced activation of the ERK survival pathway results in Bag-1 upregulation. The deletion of ICP10PK can enhance the oncolytic activity. 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.

Information

Introduction The interleukin 4 (IL4, IL-4) is a cytokine that induces differentiation of naive helper T cells (Th0 cells) to Th2 cells. Upon activation by IL-4, Th2 cells subsequently produce additional IL-4 in a positive feedback loop. The cell that initially produces IL-4, thus inducing Th2 differentiation, has not been identified, but recent studies suggest that basophils may be the effector cell. It is closely related and has functions similar to Interleukin 13.
