oncolytic virus therapies

Aug 28, 2024

Vaccinia virus-associated oncolytic virus therapies represent a promising approach to cancer treatment, leveraging the ability of the vaccinia virus to selectively infect and destroy cancer cells. The vaccinia virus, historically used in the smallpox vaccine, has been engineered to serve as an oncolytic virus due t...

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)-associated oncolytic virus therapeutics are a promising approach to cancer treatment. These treatments use genetically engineered HSV to target and destroy cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue specifically. The HSV is designed to increase selectively within tumor cells, causing th...

Oncolytic viruses are cancer treatments that employ a natural or reprogrammed virus capable of targeting and killing malignant cells. They are a new class of cancer agents that induce tumor regression by causing immunogenic cell death, inducing preferential replication in tumor cells, and stimulating host antitumor...
