Oncolytic vaccinia virus encoding constitutively active EPAC remodels the tumor microenvironment to enhance therapeutic efficacy with chemotherapy and surgery

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>Oncolytic viruses are tumor-specific immunotherapeutic agents that exploit inherent features of the tumor microenvironment to replicate, spread, and kill cancer cells. The exchange protein activated by cAMP (EPAC) is a cell signaling protein that regulates pathways important for cell growth, survival, and migration, which are commonly associated with cancer progression, but are also very important for regulation of viral…
