NIH Websites Are Changing
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.

neoantigen-encoding personalized virus-2

A personalized cancer vaccine comprised of a not yet disclosed oncolytic virus encoding tumor-specific neoantigens that have been identified through genetic sequencing of a patient’s tumor cells, with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, the neoantigen-encoding personalized virus-2 (PSV-2) infects cells and expresses the tumor-specific neoantigens (TSNAs). This stimulates the host immune system to mount a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against tumor cells expressing the TSNAs, leading to tumor cell lysis.
