MicroRNA Regulation of Glycoprotein B5R in Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Reduces Viral Pathogenicity Without Impairing Its Antitumor Efficacy
8 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Vaccinia virus, once widely used for smallpox vaccine, has recently been engineered and used as an oncolytic virus for cancer virotherapy. Their replication has been restricted to tumors by disrupting viral genes and complementing them with products that are found specifically in tumor cells. Here, we show that microRNA (miRNA) regulation also enables tumor-specific viral replication by altering the expression of...
