Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

nanoplexed poly I:C BO-112

A synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) nanoplexed with the cationic carrier polyethylenimine (PEI), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon intratumoral administration, nanoplexed poly I:C BO-112, which mimics viral RNAs, may stimulate the release of cytotoxic cytokines and induces interferon-gamma production. This may increase the tumoricidal activities of various immunohematopoietic cells. The PEI carrier enhances the delivery of the agent into the cells.
