Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain neoplasm due to its highly immunosuppressive microenvironment and resistance to conventional therapies. To overcome this challenge, we engineered a replicating retrovirus (RRV) to deliver a superagonist interleukin-15 receptor-linked fusion protein (RLI) directly to tumor cells, engineering them into local immunotherapy biofactories.
