3D bioprinting cowpea mosaic virus as an immunotherapy depot for ovarian cancer prevention in a preclinical mouse model.

ABSTRACT: Implantable polymeric hydrogels loaded with immunostimulatory cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) were fabricated using digital light processing (DLP) printing technology. The CPMV-laden hydrogels were surgically implanted into the peritoneal cavity to serve as depots for cancer slow-release immunotherapy. Sustained release of CPMV within the intraperitoneal space alleviates the need for repeated dosing and we demonstrated efficacy against ovarian cancer in a metastatic mouse model.
