Cancer Gene Therapy
Data on cancer gene therapy detailed by investigators at Aichi Cancer Center Research Institute, Division of Virology
Published in Cancer Weekly, November 14th, 2006
New research, "Establishment of a novel foreign gene delivery system combining an HSV amplicon with an attenuated replication-competent virus, HSV-1 HF10," is the subject of a report. According to recent research from Nagoya, Japan, "Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-based amplicon vectors have been used widely in genetic engineering with many advantages for gene delivery, being easily constructed. An attenuated and replication-competent HSV-1 HF10 clone demonstrating an oncolytic effect on cancer cells in vitro and in vivo has been applied recently for clinical virotherapy of breast cancers and the present studies were conducted to test its efficacy in combination with an HSV-1...
