This product is a HSP70 expressing oncolytic herpes simplex virus, which is based on HSV-1 with ICP27 deleted. ICP27 is highly cytotoxic probably due to its secondary role of preventing the splicing of pre-mRNAs in favour of translation from the mainly unspliced hepes RNAs. Deletion of ICP27 might produce a safer and less cytotoxic system when combined with other oncolytic-rendered modifications. 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.

The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70s or DnaK) are a family of conserved ubiquitously expressed heat shock proteins. Proteins with similar structure exist in virtually all living organisms. The Hsp70s are an important part of the cell's machinery for protein folding, and help to protect cells from stress.
