Abstract excerpt
Current oncolytic viruses exert only limited antitumor activity on their own. There is a need to increase their oncolytic capability. We evaluated the effect of a differentiating reagent, hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA), on the antitumor activity of a gamma(1)34.5-deficient herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) R849 for human oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells. Hexamethylene bisacetamide increased the viral...
