IL-2-expressing Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Western Reserve (ΔK3L), pSE-(IL-2)(Cat#: CyOV-0113WQ)

This product is a IL-2 expressing oncolytic vaccinia virus, which is based on VACV-WR with K3L deleted. IL-2 has essential roles in key functions of the immune system, tolerance and immunity, primarily via its direct effects on T cells. The deletion of K3L and IL-2 expressing could enhance the immune activity. This product can also be used in oncolytic virotherapy research and vaccinie application.

Information

Introduction The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted cytokine that is important for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. The receptor of this cytokine is a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by interleukin 4 (IL4) and interleukin 7 (IL7). The expression of this gene in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene. The targeted disruption of a similar gene in mice leads to ulcerative colitis-like disease, which suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune response to antigenic stimuli.
