B- myb Promoter Retargeting of Herpes Simplex Virus γ34.5 Gene-Mediated Virulence toward Tumor and Cycling Cells
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Deletion of the gamma34.5 gene coding for virulence markedly reduces cytotoxicity mediated by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) (J. M. Markert et al., Neurosurgery 32:597-603, 1993; N. S. Markovitz et al. , J. Virol. 71:5560-5569, 1997). To target lytic virulence to tumors, we have created a novel HSV-1 mutant, designated Myb34.5. This viral mutant is characterized by a deletion of the gene for infected cell...
