Evidence that Replication of the Antitumor Adenovirus ONYX-015 Is Not Controlled by the p53 and p14 ARF Tumor Suppressor Genes
18 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
The adenovirus mutant ONYX-015 is in phase III clinical trials as a novel antitumor therapy. Its apparent efficacy is thought to be due to its ability to replicate selectively in tumor cells defective in the signaling pathway for p53. Recent data have shown that p14(ARF), a positive regulator of p53, inhibits ONYX-015 replication in cells with a wild-type p53, a phenotype that characterizes normal cells. We,...
