hTNFα-expressing Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (ΔICP6, ΔΔICP34.5), CMV-hTNFα(Cat#: CyOV-0033XY)

This product is a hTNFα expressing oncolytic herpes simplex virus, which is based on HSV-1 with ICP6 and two copies of ICP34.5 deleted. ICP6 encodes a viral ribonucleotide reductase (vRR) function that allows replication of wild-type HSV to occur even in quiescent cells, such as the neurons. ICP34.5 protein, is important for viral replication, viral exit from infected cells, prevention of the premature shut-off of protein synthesis in the infected host, and neurovirulence. This product can be used in oncolytic virotherapy research and further recombinant HSV construction.

Information

Introduction Tumor necrosis factor (TNF, tumor necrosis factor alpha, TNFα, cachexin, or cachectin) is a cell signaling protein (cytokine) involved in systemic inflammation and is one of the cytokines that make up the acute phase reaction. It is produced chiefly by activated macrophages, although it can be produced by many other cell types such as CD4+ lymphocytes, NK cells, neutrophils, mast cells, eosinophils, and neurons.
