Fig. 2From: Biological causes of immunogenic cancer cell death (ICD) and anti-tumor therapy; Combination of Oncolytic virus-based immunotherapy and CAR T-cell therapy for ICD inductionOVs could enhance the recruitment, activation, and expansion of CAR T cells by generating type I INFs and switching the tumor milieu from immunologically "cold" to a "hot" state. On the one hand, OVs cause tumors to die through immunogenic cell death (ICD), remove physical barriers, and send out a warning signal to T cells. OVs, on the other hand, can express the CD19 upon tumor cells as a specific target for CAR-T, enhancing CAR-T-mediated lysis.
