Abstract

Our preclinical data demonstrate that an intravenous injection of Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara induces CD8+ lymphocytes to infiltrate organs to control the growth of orthotopic renal carcinoma upon combination with a toll-like receptor 9 agonist. Such shaping of the tumor microenvironment could constitute the basis of more effective clinical protocols of tumor immunotherapy.
