Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions related to the treatment, prevention, and/or amelioration of cancer in a subject in need thereof. In particular aspects, the present technology relates to the use of poxviruses, including a recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) virus or vaccinia virus with deletion of vaccinia host-range factor C7 (MVAΔC7L and VACVΔC7L, respectively), alone or in combination with immune checkpoint blocking agents, as an oncolytic and immunotherapeutic composition. In some embodiments, the technology of the present disclosure relates to a MVAΔC7L or VACVΔC7L virus further modified to express human Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L).
