Cover Story: Upon delivery, an oncolytic virus (OV) will infect a relatively low percentage of cancer cells in the tumor tissue. This infection and viral spread lead to oncolysis limited to infected cancer cells, and thus suboptimal efficacy. When an OV is armed with bi-specific T cell engager (BiTE), it also expresses and secretes a large quantity of BiTEs from infected cells, which can diffuse throughout the tumor tissue, activating T cells to recognize and kill cancer cells antigen-specifically. Many uninfected cancer or/and stromal cells can be killed by this mechanism, resulting in much improved therapeutic efficacy. View this paper

HDX-MS: An Analytical Tool to Capture Protein Motion in Action

  • Dominic Narang,
  • Cristina Lento and
  • Derek J. Wilson

Virtually all protein functions in the cell, including pathogenic processes, require coordinated motion of atoms or domains, i.e., conformational dynamics. Understanding protein dynamics is therefore critical both for drug development and to learn ab...
