Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Disseminated cancers are generally non-curative and novel therapeutic paradigms are urgently required. We developed dual-targeted oncolytic type 5 adenoviruses in which the viral replication was regulated by cancer-specific promoter and the receptor-binding site in the fiber was modified to target CD46 that was highly expressed in most cancer cells. We then examined the anti-tumor effects in various cancer models.
