|
Description |
A gene therapy vector using AAV to deliver IL-27, an immunomodulatory cytokine with anti-tumor properties |
Stage of Development |
Research |
Host Species for Testing |
3 |
Components |
adeno-associated virus (AAV-IL-27) |
Structure |
rAAV vector encoding IL-27; IL-27 is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of EBI3 and p28 subunits |
Preparation |
Produced by packaging IL-27 gene into an AAV vector and administered via i.m. or intra-tumoral injection in mice |
Dosage |
2 × 10¹¹ DRP/mouse in preclinical models |
Function |
Systemically delivered IL-27 by adeno-associated virus (AAV-IL-27) is very well tolerized by mice and exhibits potent anti-tumor activity in a variety of tumor models. |
Safety |
Well-tolerated in mice; low toxicity even at high systemic IL-27 levels. No signs of autoimmune damage observed |
