    摘要: The present disclosure provides, in general, a method for selecting a therapy for treating cancer in a human subject and subsequently treating cancer in a subject, which includes isolating a cancer cell from a human subject having cancer, determining the functional activity of STING or cGAS in the cell; and selecting a therapy for the cancer based on the functional activity of the STING or cGAS in the cell. Also provided, if the functional activity of STING and/or cGAS is determined to be defective in the cell, the therapy selected is one that is effective at killing STING-deficient and/or cGAS-deficient cancer cells, e.g., therapy including administering to the subject an oncolytic virus.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides, in general, a method for selecting a therapy for treating cancer in a human subject and subsequently treating cancer in a subject, which includes isolating a cancer cell from a human subject having cancer, determining the functional activity of the innate immune regulator STimulator of INterferon Genes (STING) or the cellular nucleotidyltransferase, cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP)-Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP) Synthase (cyclicGMP-AMP Synthase or cGAS) in the cell, and selecting a therapy for the cancer based on the functional activity of the STING or cGAS in the cell. Also provided, if the functional activity of STING and/or cGAS is determined to be defective in the cell, the therapy selected is one that is effective at killing STING-deficient and/or cGAS-deficient cancer cells, for example a therapy including administering to the subject an oncolytic virus.

    摘要: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the treatment of tumor and/or malignant and/or cancerous cells. The present invention provides VSV vectors comprising nucleic acid encoding a cytokine, such as interleukin or interferon, or a suicide gene, such as thymidine kinase, or other biological protein, such as heat shock protein gp96, or endostatin or angiostatin, wherein said VSV vectors exhibit greater oncolytic activity against the tumor and/or malignant and/or cancerous cell than a wild-type VSV vector. The present invention also provides methods of making such vectors, host cells, expression systems, and compositions comprising such VSV vectors, and viral particles comprising such VSV vectors. The present invention also provides methods for producing oncolytic activity in a tumor and/or malignant and/or cancerous cell comprising contacting said cell with a VSV vector of the present invention. The present invention also provides methods for suppressing tumor growth comprising contacting said tumor with a VSV vector of the present invention. The present invention also provides methods for eliciting an immune response to a tumor cell in an individual.
