Abstract excerpt
The selectively oncolytic effects of mtHSV, a HSV icp34.5 mutant with lacz gene insertion, on several tumor cells in vitro and its antitumor effects by the intratumoral (IT) route to nude mice loaded the human hepatoma xenografts were explored. The mtHSV could conditionally replicate in and lyse Hep-3B (human hepatoma cells), Hep-2 (human larynx cancer cells) and SPC-A1 (human lung cancer cells), but not MRC-5...
