One-Stop Oncolytic Virus Enhancement Service
At Creative Biolabs, our team of experienced scientists specializes in enhancing oncolytic viruses to maximize their therapeutic potential against cancer. With our comprehensive platform and extensive expertise, we provide tailored enhancement strategies to improve efficacy, replication capabilities, and tumor selectivity of oncolytic viruses, with particular strength in vaccinia virus-based therapeutics.
What We Do
Efficacy Enhancement Services
Our efficacy enhancement services focus on maximizing the therapeutic potential of oncolytic viruses through strategic genetic modifications. We engineer oncolytic viruses to carry therapeutic transgenes and tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) that enhance oncolytic efficacy while maintaining tumor-selective replication, avoiding off-tumor toxicity commonly associated with systemic delivery.
We also specialize in arming viruses with immunoregulatory molecules such as interleukins to "heat up" the tumor microenvironment and elicit robust immune responses. Our experts design combination approaches that pair oncolytic virotherapy with complementary anticancer treatments, creating synergistic strategies that attack cancer through multiple mechanisms simultaneously.
Replication Enhancement Services
The replication capacity of oncolytic viruses directly impacts their therapeutic efficacy. We offer specialized viral genetic modifications, including A34R mutation optimization and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) integration, to enhance tumor-selective replication, improve immune evasion, and increase virus spreading within tumors.
Our cytokine enhancement approach involves engineering viruses to express specific immune factors that prevent premature viral clearance while contributing to tumor destruction. We employ advanced imaging technologies – including bioluminescence, fluorescence, and nuclear medicine-based imaging – to precisely assess viral replication and distribution, providing valuable data for therapeutic optimization.
Tumor Selectivity Enhancement Services
Achieving optimal tumor selectivity is essential for effective and safe oncolytic virus therapy. We provide thymidine kinase and vaccinia growth factor-based modifications that ensure viruses preferentially target and replicate in cancer cells by exploiting the unique molecular characteristics found in tumors compared to normal tissues.
Our host range gene modification services, including K1L-based and C7L-based enhancements, restrict viral replication to tumor cells by leveraging differences in antiviral responses. Additionally, our serpin-based enhancements utilize protease inhibitor modifications to increase tumor specificity, creating viruses that can only complete their lifecycle in the tumor microenvironment while sparing healthy tissues.

Applications
Our enhanced oncolytic viruses serve multiple purposes across the cancer research and treatment spectrum. In fundamental cancer research, they function as valuable tools for understanding cancer biology and developing novel therapeutic approaches. For translational research, our optimized viral vectors provide improved efficacy and safety profiles essential for pre-clinical studies.
As projects advance toward clinical applications, we offer enhancement services to improve the performance of candidate viruses advancing to clinical trials. We also specialize in engineering viruses designed to work synergistically with other cancer treatment modalities, opening new possibilities for combination therapy development.
