This product is a TNF expressing oncolytic vaccinia virus, which is based on VACV-WR with K3L deleted. The TNF is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. This cytokine has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, and cancer. The deletion of K3L and TNF expressing could enhance the immune and anti-tumor activity. This product can also be used in oncolytic virotherapy research and vaccinie application.

Backbone Background
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 multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. This cytokine is mainly secreted by macrophages. It can bind to, and thus functions through its receptors TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. This cytokine is involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. This cytokine has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, and cancer. Knockout studies in mice also suggested the neuroprotective function of this cytokine.
