Viral oncolysis studies with a metastatic human tumor in chicks.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fact that many viruses will propagate in, and some will damage, tumor tissue has been demonstrated by many investigators using many experimental systems. Oncotropism and oncolysis have also been studied in clinical experiments. The literature through 1953 has been reviewed by Moore (5). More recent clinical studies include the systemic administration of certain arthropodborne viruses1 and adenoviruses (8, 9) and local

Systemic therapy of malignant human melanoma tumors by a common cold-producing enterovirus, coxsackievirus a21.
PURPOSE The incidence of malignant melanoma continues to increase worldwide; however, treatment of metastatic melanoma remains unsatisfactory, and there is an urgent need for development of effective targeted therapeutics. A potential biological target on the surface of malignant melanoma cells is the up-regulated expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and decay-accelerating fac...
متن کاملImmune-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...
متن کاملPositron 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...
متن کاملReovirus 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...
متن کاملNovel oncolytic viral therapies in patients with thoracic malignancies
Oncolytic virotherapy is the use of replication-competent viruses to treat malignancies. The potential of oncolytic virotherapy as an approach to cancer therapy is based on historical evidence that certain viral infections can cause spontaneous remission of both hematologic and solid tumor malignancies. Oncolytic virotherapy may eliminate cancer cells through either direct oncolysis of infected...
