Ionizing Radiation Activates Late Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Promoters via the p38 Pathway in Tumors Treated with Oncolytic Viruses
15 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Ionizing radiation potentiates the oncolytic activity of attenuated herpes simplex viruses in tumors exposed to irradiation at specific time intervals by inducing higher virus yields. Cell culture studies have shown that an attenuated virus lacking the viral gamma(1)34.5 genes underproduces late proteins whose synthesis depends on sustained synthesis of viral DNA. Here we report that ionizing radiation enhances...
