Popis: Oncolytic virus therapy is a promising novel immunotherapy. In this report, we engineered a novel oncolytic influenza virus (IV) carrying an antihuman programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody utilizing reverse genetics. A reassortant chimeric IV, named rFlu-huPD1, was synthesized as follows: the heavy chain of the PD-1 antibody was encoded on the PB1 fragment, and the light chain of the PD-1 antibody was encoded on the polymerase acid protein fragment. rFlu-huPD1 antibodies were produced in infected ovalantoic eggs and could replicate to high titers. Moreover, selective cytotoxicity of rFlu-huPD1 was upregulated in multiple hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines compared with a control, as determined by a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Furthermore, the activation of T cells in the spleen of tumor-bearing BALB/c mice treated with rFlu-huPD1 was observed, especially cytotoxic CD8
