This product is a IL-12 expressing oncolytic herpes simplex virus, which is based on HSV-2 with ICP10PK deleted. The herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) protein ICP10PK has anti-apoptotic activity independent of other viral proteins that ICP10 PK-induced activation of the ERK survival pathway results in Bag-1 upregulation. The deletion of ICP10PK can enhance the oncolytic activity. 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.
Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is an interleukin that is naturally produced by dendritic cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and human B-lymphoblastoid cells (NC-37) in response to antigenic stimulation.
