TNF-α-expressing Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Western Reserve (ΔE3L,ΔK3L), pSL-(TNF-α)(Cat#: CyOV-0225WQ)

This product is a TNF-α encoding oncolytic vaccinia virus, which is based on VACV-WR with E3L and K3L double deleted.Protein E3 plays a role in the inhibition of multiple cellular antiviral responses activated by dsRNA, such as inhibition of PKR activation, apoptosis, and IFN-mediated antiviral activities. Protein K3 acts as a pseudosubstrate for EIF2AK2/PKR kinase. Inhibits therefore eIF-2-alpha phosphorylation by host EIF2AK2/PKR kinase and prevents protein synthesis shutoff.The double deletion of E3L and K3L with oncolytic-rendered modifications could enhance an immune response to a poxvirus vaccine.This product can be used in oncolytic virotherapy research and vaccinie application.

Information

Introduction This gene encodes a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. This cytokine is mainly secreted by macrophages. It can bind to, and thus functions through its receptors TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. This cytokine is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. This cytokine has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, and cancer. Knockout studies in mice also suggested the neuroprotective function of this cytokine.
