In this study, we describe a novel antiangiogenic effect of conditional replication-selective adenovirus through the stimulation of host immune reaction," researchers in Okayama, Japan report. "An attenuated adenovirus (OBP-301, Telomelysin), in which the human telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter element drives expression of El genes, could replicate in and cause selective lysis of cancer cells. Mixed lymphocyte-tumor cell culture demonstrated that OBP-301-infected cancer cells stimulated PBMC to produce...
