Immunological Aspects of Viral Oncolysis

چکیده

of disciplines were represented including anthropology, psychology, psychiatry, neurology, mathematics, linguistics, and zoology. One of the major topics was the complexity and variability of primate societies which depend on factors such as the breeding season, estrus cycles, and formation of new groups. Another theme was the evolutionary trend in the naturalistic and biological approaches. An important aspect of the meeting was the emphasis on quantitative studies, which represents a decisive advance over the former reliance on anecdotal description of monkey behavior. This book is divided into five sections: Reproductive behavior, Agonistic behavior, Causal mechanisms, Social dynamics, and Communication processes. The general level of the articles is highly sophisticated, the bibliography provided is excellent and comprehensive, and altogether this book is the most authoritative survey of our existing knowledge of primate communication. Certainly it will also help to improve the communication among scientists interested in this subject.

Reovirus oncolysis: a brief insight on molecular mechanism and immunological aspect

Abstract :  Reovirus (respiratory enteric orphan virus), a naturally occurring benign human pathogen, has an inherent ability to target transformed and cancerous cells and cause their lysis, while leaving non-transformed cells relatively unaffected.  The efficiency of this innate oncolytic activity of reovirus correlates with expression of the ras oncogene.  Cells expressing ac...

Oncolytic Immunotherapy: Where Are We Clinically?

Following a century of preclinical and clinical work, oncolytic viruses are now proving themselves in randomized phase 3 trials. Interestingly, human data indicates that these agents have potent immunostimulatory activity, raising the possibility that the key consequence of oncolysis might be induction of antitumor immunity, especially in the context of viruses harboring immunostimulatory trans...

Positron emission tomography of herpes simplex virus 1 oncolysis.

Viral oncolysis, the destruction of cancer cells by replicating viruses, is under clinical investigation for cancer therapy. Lytic viral replication in cancer cells both destroys the cells and liberates progeny virion to infect adjacent cancer cells. The safety and efficacy of this approach are dependent on selective and robust viral replication in cancer cells rather than in normal cells. Meth...

Molecular imaging with bioluminescence and PET reveals viral oncolysis kinetics and tumor viability.

Viral oncolysis, the destruction of cancer cells by replicating virus, is an experimental cancer therapy that continues to be explored. The treatment paradigm for this therapy involves successive waves of lytic replication in cancer cells. At present, monitoring viral titer at sites of replication requires biopsy. However, repeat serial biopsies are not practically feasible for temporal monitor...

Immune-mediated antitumor activity of reovirus is required for therapy and is independent of direct viral oncolysis and replication.

PURPOSE Reovirus is a naturally occurring oncolytic virus in clinical trials. Although tumor infection by reovirus can generate adaptive antitumor immunity, its therapeutic importance versus direct viral oncolysis is undefined. This study addresses the requirement for viral oncolysis and replication, and the relative importance of antitumor immunity and direct oncolysis in therapy. EXPERIMENT...

Effects of Chlorella vulgaris on blood and immunological parameters of Caspian Sea salmon (Salmo trutta caspius) fry exposed to Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) virus

In the present study, the effects of Chlorella vulgaris on blood and immunological parameters of Caspian salmon (Salmo trutta caspius) before and after exposure to Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) virus were examined. In this regard, four treatments in triplicate were chosen. Groups included one control and 3treatments (T1, T2 and T3).  Fish in control group, T1, T2 and T3 were fed diets supplement...
