OVs induce ICD and/or promote antitumor immunity in animal models or human patients (*)

Virus Modifications ICD and DAMPs (in vitro) Antitumor Immunity (in vivo) Reference
Ad
 
 
 
 
hTERT-Ad
E1a gene driven by hTERT promoter
Immunogenic apoptosis
hTERT-Ad and bortezmib (proteasome inhibition) leads to potent antitumor immunity
[65]
Ad5/3-D24-GMCSF
Ad3 fiber E1a-deleted (RB-selective) GM-CSF +
Enhanced autophagy; ecto- CRT; released ATP and HMGB1
Tumor-specific T cell responses and antitumor efficacy in some patients [clinical trial]
[62]
HSV
 
 
 
 
G207
R34.5-; ICP6-
NA
Systemic antitumor immunity (CD8+ T cells)
[66]
HSV-1716
ICP 34.5 gene mutant
Induction of IFN-γ, CXCL9 and CXCL10
Intratumoral injection increased NK and CD8+ T cells
[67]
T-VEC
ICP47-γ34.5 - GM-CSF +
Necrosis/apoptosis (in vivo)
Antigen-specific T cell responses and decreases in Treg, Ts, and MDSC in human melanoma patients [clinical trials]
[68,69]
HSV-2 ΔPK mutant
ICP10 PK domain deleted
Apoptosis/Pyroptosis
Dominant induction of CD4+ Th1 cells
[70]
Poxvirus

NA
[58]
vvDD
tk-/vgf-
Necrosis/HMGB1 and ATP release
CD11b + cells and CD11b+Ly6G+ cells (DCs and Neutrophils)
[71]
Pexa-Vec

[72]
Arbovirus
 
 
 
 
VSV-GFP (Indiana serotype)
Marker gene GFP
Induction of IL-28 by virally activated innate immune cells in the TME

[73]
VSVgm-icv oncolytic vaccine plateform
Deletion in The M protein at position 51; VSV-GM-CSF+
NA
The antitumor immunity is robust enough to control established tumor. Tumor is infiltrated by a large number of IFNγ-producing T and NK cells
[74]
Paramyxovirus
 
 
 
 
MV-eGFP (Edmonston strain)
Marker gene EGFP
Released inflammatory cytokines and chemokines; IL-6 and HMGB1
Enhance innate antitumor and melanoma-specific adaptive immunity (in vitro)
[55]
MV vaccine-infected tumor cells Marker gene EGFP ICD; apoptotic cells phagocytosed by DCs Allowing DC to mature, produce high level of IFN-α, and cross-present TAAs and production of tumor-specific CD8 T cells [75,76]
