Abstract excerpt
Reovirus shows considerable potential as an oncolytic agent for Ras-activated tumors and is currently in clinical trials. Here we ask whether such tumor cell lines can acquire resistance to reoviral oncolysis. We challenged human HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells that carry a Ras mutation by prolonged exposure to reovirus, thereby yielding highly virus-resistant HTR1 cells. These cells are persistently infected with...
