Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The triple-deleted oncolytic herpes simplex virus type I G47delta represents the cutting edge of a new field of oncotherapy utilizing genetically-engineered viruses. Of the three deletions, the deletion of the ICP6 gene may in theory make viral replication reliant on host enzyme level, and thus be inhibited in slower-growing tumors. Using the G47delta as the backbone, we created a new oncolytic HSV-1 with an intact ICP6 gene under the control of tumor-specific promoters to eliminate this effect, and enhance viral growth and efficacy against slower-growing tumors. We hope this new virus will further stimulate the use of viral agents in oncotherapy.
