| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the usefulness of telomerase specific oncolytic adenovirus containing the green fluorescent protein (GFP), which are OBP-401 or OBP-1101, to detect circulating tumor cells of sarcoma as a new biomarker. 55 sarcoma patients were examined, and CTCs were detected in 11 of 22 patients (50%) with OBP-401 and 2 of 33 patients (6%) with OBP-1101. We compare OBP-401 and OBP-1101 in CTC experimental model with 5 types of sarcoma cell lines, but two virus showed same detection rate. We identified whether CTCs are really tumor cells or not by proliferate the tumor specific genome with PCR, but it was impossible due to technical difficulty.
