Oncolytic vaccinia virus armed with anti-CD47 nanobody elicit potent antitumor effects on multiple tumor models via enhancing innate and adoptive immunity by Jie Chen, Liu Yang, Mengyuan Li, Qian Ye, Shibing Wang, Zengpeng Li, Wenbin Qian

“…However, this therapeutic approach is often hampered by on-target side effects, physical barriers, and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).Methods To improve therapeutic efficacy while minimizing toxicities, we engineered an oncolytic vaccinia virus (OVV) encoding an anti-CD47 nanobody (OVV-αCD47nb). We demonstrated the specific binding activity of αCD47nb secreted from the virus-infected cells to CD47 and that both secreted αCD47nb and OVV-αCD47nb blocked the “don’t eat me” signal of macrophages.Results Intratumorally injected OVV-αCD47nb continuously releases the αCD47nb in tumor tissues, thereby conferring superior systemic activity against breast and colon tumor cells and prolonging survival compared with OVV control. …”
