AI Technical Summary
Immunotherapies for cancer and viral infections are ineffective against latent viral infections due to the lack of expression of viral proteins on the cell surface, and existing antiviral drugs like ganciclovir are ineffective without lytic phase viral protein expression.
Administering a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) like CHR-3996 to induce expression of viral proteins or antigens in latent virus-infected cells, combined with immunotherapies such as vaccines, antibodies, or T-cell therapies, to enhance the immune response against cancer cells.
Enhances the efficacy of immunotherapies by increasing the visibility of viral antigens, allowing immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells associated with latent viral infections.
