Multimodal Cancer Therapy Involving Oncolytic Newcastle Disease Virus, Autologous Immune Cells, and Bi-Specific Antibodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on oncolytic Newcastle disease virus (NDV). This paper summarizes (i) the peculiarities of this virus as an anti-cancer and immune stimulatory agent and (ii) the approaches to further harness this virus as a vector to combat cancer. Special emphasis is given on combining virus therapy with cell therapy and on improving tumor targeting. The review will include some of the authors work on NDV, bi-specific antibodies, and cell therapy as building blocks for a new perspective of multimodal cancer therapy. The broad anti-tumor immune reactivation includes innate and adaptive, tumor antigen (TA) specific and TA independent activities.

Harnessing Oncolytic Virus-Mediated Anti-Tumor Immunity
Oncolytic viruses (OVs) selectively infect, replicate in, and kill tumor cells. For a long time, the therapeutic efficacy of OVs was thought to depend mainly on this mechanism of direct viral oncolysis. Nowadays, however, the post-oncolytic anti-tumor activity induced by the OV therapy is considered a key factor for an efficient therapeutic activity. The research topic addresses these issues an...
متن کاملA New Strategy of Cancer Immunotherapy Combining Hyperthermia/Oncolytic Virus Pretreatment with Specific Autologous Anti-Tumor Vaccination – A Review
This review describes and explains a specific immunotherapy strategy that has been developed at the Immunological and Oncological Center Cologne in Germany. The strategy is based on many years of basic and translational research. It is a highly individualized approach to activate and target the patient’s immune system against the patient’s own tumor. In a first step, the patient’s immune system...
متن کاملMechanisms of Oncolysis by Paramyxovirus Sendai
Some viral strains of the Paramyxoviridae family may be used as anti-tumor agents. Oncolytic paramyxoviruses include attenuated strains of the measles virus, Newcastle disease virus, and Sendai virus. These viral strains, and the Sendai virus in particular, can preferentially induce the death of malignant, rather than normal, cells. The death of cancer cells results from both direct killing by ...
متن کاملOncolytic Newcastle Disease Virus as Cutting Edge between Tumor and Host
Oncolytic viruses (OVs) replicate selectively in tumor cells and exert anti-tumor cytotoxic activity. Among them, Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV), a bird RNA virus of the paramyxovirus family, appears outstanding. Its anti-tumor effect is based on: (i) oncolytic activity and (ii) immunostimulation. Together these activities facilitate the induction of post-oncolytic adaptive immunity. We will pre...
متن کاملCancer virotherapy: Targeting cancer cells by microRNA mechanism for selective replication of oncolytic viruses in these cells
Cancer, as one of the most serious public health problems, is the second-leading cause of death in the world after cardiovascular disease. The number of patients and the resulting mortality are increasing worldwide; therefore, early diagnosis, prevention, and effective treatment of cancer are very important. Current treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy are often non-selective a...
