Deskripsi

The efficacy of oncolytic adenoviruses is limited by strong immune responses being induced against the oncolytic virus itself. Here, the authors generate a bispecific molecule capable of redirecting the adenovirus-specific antibodies to tumour cells and show this induces immune mediated cancer growth inhibition and enhances the therapeutic efficacy of viral oncolysis.
