  • Publication number: 20210000937
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of viral immunotherapy. The invention provides new pseudocowpox (PCPV) viruses, in particular recombinant PCPV, composition thereof as well as their therapeutic use for preventing or treating diseases, and, notably, proliferative diseases like cancers and restenosis and infectious diseases such as chronic ones. The present invention also provides methods for generating and amplifying such a PCPV and a method for eliciting or stimulating and/or re-orienting an immune response using such a PCPV. More specifically, the invention provides an alternative to the existing poxvirus vectors such as MVA (Modified Virus Ankara) and may be largely used for the therapeutic vaccination.
