Various oncolytic Sendai virus

Oncolytic Sendai virus Function
Genetic modified-Sendai virus
SeV/ΔM – Lack of production ability of infectious viral particles from infected cells
– Infection spread by cell–cell fusion of infected cells with uninfected cells
MMP-sub SeV/ΔM – Preferential infection to MMP-expressing cancer cells
uPA-sub SeV/ΔM – Preferential infection to uPA-expressing cancer cells
Inactivated-Sendai virus
UV-irradiated Sendai virus particle (HVJ-E) – Induction of apoptosis in cancer cells by introduction of viral RNA genome fragments into cytoplasm
– Induction of necroptosis in cancer cell lack caspase-8 by HVJ-E membrane fusion
– Activation of antitumor immunity (DCs stimulation, NK cells activation, Treg suppression)
ΔHN-HVJ-E – Low hemagglutinating activity
Tf/F-ΔHN-HVJ-E – Transferrin receptor expressing cancer cell targeting
scIL12-HVJ-E – Robust anticancer immune stimulation
