Novel oncolytic parvoviruses with enhanced cargo capacity, stable shRNA expression cassette and novel immunogenic properties
Novel engineered oncolytic protoparvoviruses are described to be used in cancer therapy. The engineered protoparvoviruses contain at least one deletion in the untranslated region and a silencer sequence that remains stably integrated into the viral genome during extensive virus propagation. The novel viruses can be used for the silencing of relevant cancer-related genes, providing to the virus a new anticancer mechanism of action.
