    摘要: Adenovirus for use in anti-tumour therapy which has specificity for tumour cells, especially for tumour cells that have reduced activity levels of the tumour suppressor p53. It is known that the majority of tumours characteristically exhibit reduced activity of the tumour repressor p53. In tumour-bearing patients, the adenovirus provides for an effective cross-presentation of tumour antigens, which can be neoantigens. e.g. having low immunogenicity, and hence supports the induction of tumour-specific immune cells, especially of tumour-specific CD8 T− cells. Further, the adenovirus in tumour patients stimulates the non-specific immune response by NK-cells, preferably both locally and systemically, and the adenovirus improves migration of immune cells. e.g. T-cells. NK-cells, and antigen-presenting cells (APC), e.g. dendritic cells, into the tumour, and the adenovirus improves the maturation of immune cells, especially of APC, and improves the cytolysis of tumour cells by immune cells. The adenovirus has an E4 protein which contains an E4 orf4-encoded protein of one of amino acid sequences SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, and SEQ ID NO: 3.
