NV1066 is a herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) oncolytic mutant that contains the gene for enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). We sought to determine (1) whether NV1066 is effective against human peritoneal cancer, (2) whether EGFP is detectable in an animal model of gastric cancer, and (3) whether EGFP expression can be used to assess oncolytic therapy in a minimally invasive, laparoscopic system. The current...
