Induction of antitumor acquired immunity by baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus infection in mice.
The baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) has been studied as a gene therapy vector. Here, we demonstrated that AcMNPV induces antitumor acquired immunity. These results suggest that AcMNPV has the potential to be an efficient virus or tumor therapy agent which induces innate and acquired immunity.
