. We show that a significant survival effect relies heavily on the infection and modulation of both populations, and that even a modest number of reprogrammed intra-tumoral MDSCs can have a substantial impact on the immunological milieu, significantly enriching and activating cytotoxic T-cells. Further, this work reveals intra-tumoral myeloid cells as a target for other RRV-based gene therapies.
