Abstract
Translational studies are underway for cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) as a candidate for intratumoral immunotherapy. To further strengthen the argument for translation, here we demonstrate that a structural deviation in CPMV's small (S) coat protein does not negatively impact its antitumor efficacy, immune cell uptake, or cytokine profile.
期刊介绍:
Biomaterials Science is an international high impact journal exploring the science of biomaterials and their translation towards clinical use. Its scope encompasses new concepts in biomaterials design, studies into the interaction of biomaterials with the body, and the use of materials to answer fundamental biological questions.
