Parapoxvirus ovis (strain D 1701) is an immune-stimulating component used in veterinary medicine to enhance the immune system of animals. This attenuated strain of Parapoxvirus ovis is applied in immunotherapy to boost the body’s ability to fight infections and diseases.

Essential insights

• Stimulation of innate immunity: Parapoxvirus ovis (strain D 1701) activates macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, which are key players in the body’s innate immune response.
• Increased cytokine production: This activation promotes the release of cytokines such as interferon-alpha (IFN-α), critical for antiviral activity and immune regulation.
• Enhanced immune surveillance: The immune stimulation improves the host’s capacity to recognize and respond to pathogenic microorganisms.
• Selective safety: The attenuated virus is designed to be harmless to the host animal, ensuring minimal risk of side effects.
