IL-12-expressing Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Western Reserve (ΔE3L), pSL-(IL-12)(Cat#: CyOV-0035WQ)

This product is a IL12 expressing oncolytic vaccinia virus, which is based on VACV-WR with E3L deleted. IL-12 plays an important role in the activities of natural killer cells and T lymphocytes. IL-12 mediates enhancement of the cytotoxic activity of NK cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The deletion of E3L and IL-12 expressing could enhance the immune activity. This product can also be used in oncolytic virotherapy research and vaccinie application.

Information

Introduction This gene encodes a subunit of interleukin 12, a cytokine that acts on T and natural killer cells, and has a broad array of biological activities. Interleukin 12 is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of the 40 kD cytokine receptor like subunit encoded by this gene, and a 35 kD subunit encoded by IL12A. This cytokine is expressed by activated macrophages that serve as an essential inducer of Th1 cells development. This cytokine has been found to be important for sustaining a sufficient number of memory/effector Th1 cells to mediate long-term protection to an intracellular pathogen. Overexpression of this gene was observed in the central nervous system of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), suggesting a role of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of the disease. The promoter polymorphism of this gene has been reported to be associated with the severity of atopic and non-atopic asthma in children.
