Research Abstract |
Oncolytic virotherapy has been developed to destroy tumor cells by the cytopathic effect of virus vectors. In the present study, we produced a recombinant herpes simplex virus type 1(HSV-1) RH2 using R849 with LacZ gene at the deleted site of neurovirulentγ_1 34. 5 gene and strain HF with fusogenic ability. Nucleotide sequences of RH2 were determined with Genome Sequencer FLX. RH2 induced large syncytia in squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) cells and was deficient of neurovirulent gene. It can be used as a vector for the treatment of brain tumor as well as oral SCC
