This product is a IL-12 encoding oncolytic vaccinia virus, which is based on VACV-WR with E3L and K3L double deleted.Protein E3 plays a role in the inhibition of multiple cellular antiviral responses activated by dsRNA, such as inhibition of PKR activation, apoptosis, and IFN-mediated antiviral activities. Protein K3 acts as a pseudosubstrate for EIF2AK2/PKR kinase. Inhibits therefore eIF-2-alpha phosphorylation by host EIF2AK2/PKR kinase and prevents protein synthesis shutoff.The double deletion of E3L and K3L with oncolytic-rendered modifications could enhance an immune response to a poxvirus vaccine.This product can be used in oncolytic virotherapy research and vaccinie application.

VACV-WR strain derived from Wyeth through passaging in mice and shown high tumor selectivity and strong oncolytic effect in mouse models.The engineered VACV-WR could further enhance the immune activity and the efficacy of cancer therapies.
This gene encodes a subunit of interleukin 12, a cytokine that acts on T and natural killer cells, and has a broad array of biological activities. Interleukin 12 is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of the 40 kD cytokine receptor like subunit encoded by this gene, and a 35 kD subunit encoded by IL12A. This cytokine is expressed by activated macrophages that serve as an essential inducer of Th1 cells development. This cytokine has been found to be important for sustaining a sufficient number of memory/effector Th1 cells to mediate long-term protection to an intracellular pathogen. Overexpression of this gene was observed in the central nervous system of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), suggesting a role of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of the disease. The promoter polymorphism of this gene has been reported to be associated with the severity of atopic and non-atopic asthma in children.
