Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-regulated ribonucleotide reductase (RR) production would promote more vigorous and specific viral killing in AFP-expressing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). BACKGROUND: AFP is expressed in over 70% of primary HCC but not in normal adult liver. AFP production by HCC can be exploited to target viral killing of tumor cells. G207 is an oncolytic herpes virus...
