Recombinant adenovirus expressing the fusion protein PD1PVR improves CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor efficacy with long-term tumor-specific immune surveillance in hepatocellular carcinoma.

From our data we conclude that the newly designed recombinant Ad5sPD1PVR virus significantly enhances CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor efficacy with long-term tumor-specific immune surveillance in hepatocellular carcinoma, and that fludarabine is a promising therapeutic partner for Ad5sPD1PVR.
