Liver-directed AAV-IL-10 therapy enhances CD8+ T cell-mediated immunity against hepatocellular carcinoma

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>The liver&rsquo;s inherently immunosuppressive microenvironment presents a major barrier to effective immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although interleukin-10 (IL-10) has demonstrated antitumor activity in several cancer models, its therapeutic potential in HCC remains unclear. Here, we investigated whether liver-directed delivery of IL-10 using an adeno-associated virus vector (AAV-IL-10) could enhance antitumor immunity in HCC.</p> Methods <p>Syngeneic orthotopic and intrahepatic…
