The present invention Provides composition and method for stimulating immune responses against antigens without using conventional adjuvants (such as aluminum salt adjuvants, oil-in-water emulsion adjuvants, toll-like receptor agonist adjuvants, and the like). The composition contains p14.7 protein and an antigen to which the stimulated illumine responses are desired. The p14.7 protein functions as an adjuvant so that the immune responses to the antigen stimulated by the composition comprising p14.7 protein and the antigen are greater than the immune responses stimulated by the antigen alone. The current invention also provides a method for producing thermostable vaccines and a simple strategy for avoiding vaccine cold-chain maintenance by lyophilization.

The present invention provides an oncolytic adenoviral vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a variant interleukin 2 (vIL-2) polypeptide as a transgene. The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising said oncolytic vector and at least one of the following: physiologically acceptable carriers, buffers, excipients, adjuvants, additives, antiseptics, preservatives, filling, stabilising and/or thickening agents. A particular aim of the present invention is to provide said oncolytic viral vector or pharmaceutical composition for use in the treatment of cancer or tumor, preferably a solid tumor.

Provided herein are methods of treating cancer by activating resident memory T cells using one or more antigenic peptides.

The present invention relates to an anticancer composition comprising a recombinant adenovirus which expresses degradation factors for the extracellular matrix. The recombinant adenovirus according to the present invention exhibits an excellent anti-tumor effect by remarkably reducing the main structural components of the extracellular matrix in a tumor tissue, including collagen I, collagen III, fibronectin, elastin, and the like and highly expressing a therapeutic gene selectively only in tumor cells through viral proliferation. Particularly, when administered in combination with therapeutic materials, such as anticancer agents or immune checkpoint inhibitors, the recombinant adenovirus significantly increases the diffusion and distribution of the co-administered therapeutic materials in tumor tissues while allowing the exertion of the preexisting anticancer effects, thereby further improving an anti-cancer effect. Accordingly, the present invention may be available as a core technique in the cancer treatment field.

The present disclosure provides therapeutic agents comprising oncolytic vaccinia viruses and NK cells, and uses thereof for preparation of drugs for treatment of tumors and/or cancers. The active ingredients of the therapeutic agents comprise an oncolytic vaccinia virus and NK cells, wherein the oncolytic vaccinia virus can selectively replicate in tumor cells.

The present disclosure provides therapeutic agents and uses thereof for drugs for treatment of tumors and/or cancers. The active ingredients of the therapeutic agents comprise an oncolytic virus that selectively replicate in tumor cells and comprise NK cells.

The present disclosure relates to a replication deficient oncolytic viral vector or replication capable group B oncolytic adenovirus selected from the group consisting of Ad11 and enadenotucirev, wherein the virus encodes an antibody or a binding fragment thereof for expression on the surface of a cancer cell, wherein said antibody or binding fragment is specific to a CD3 protein of a T-cell receptor complex (TCR), wherein the virus does not encode a B7 protein or an active fragment thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and use of any one of the same in treatment, particularly in the treatment of cancer.

Disclosed is a pH-sensitive and bioreducible polymer-virus complex which can destroy tumor cells more effectively by increasing the efficiency of virus transduction. A pH-sensitive and bioreducible polymer contains (i) an escapable portion from immune reactions, (ii) a chargeable portion having one or more amine groups and (iii) a bioreducible portion including one or more disulfide linkages. The and to a pharmaceutical composition containing the polymer-virus complex. Also disclosed are a pharmaceutical composition containing the pH-sensitive and bioreducible polymer-virus complex and methods for treating cancer in a subject, employing the composition.

Disclosed are replication-enhanced oncolytic adenoviruses. These oncolytic adenoviruses have tumor-specific replication capable of enhanced tumor oncolysis and enhanced therapeutic transgene expression. Also disclosed are methods comprising administering a replication-enhanced oncolytic adenovirus for patients suffering from a cancer.
