Abstract excerpt
We have demonstrated that replication-competent attenuated mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) have therapeutic potential for malignant gliomas. Moreover, a recently described multiple mutant HSV (termed G207) has properties which may allow human clinical trials. G207 is able to replicate within and kill cells from three human malignant meningiomas in cell culture. In nude mice harboring s.c. human...
