Towards an integrated immunotherapy approach for melanoma using herpes simplex virus type-1 derived oncolytic viruses

Research output: Unpublished contribution to conferencePoster

Abstract

In recent years, oncolytic viruses (OVs) have proven to be a promising tool for antitumor immunotherapy. They induce tumor killing while providing immunogenic
structures, both contributing to augmented antitumor immune responses. Recent studies pinpointed immunogenic cell death (ICD) of eliminated cells as a crucial
determinant for initiation of an adequate immune response. Here, we investigated the immunogenicity of cell death of melanoma cells induced by Herpes Simplex
Virus type-1 (HSV-1) derived OVs and the possibility to skew cell death in an immunogenic direction by overexpressing cell death mediating proteins (CDMPs).
