Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) with an inactivated viral ribonucleotide reductase (Hsrr, ICP6) were designed to target tumor cells with upregulated mammalian ribonucleotide reductase (mRR), an enzyme whose expression is regulated by the p16/pRB tumor suppressor pathway. A recombinant HSV-1 was generated by knock-out of Hsrr and insertion of the rat CYP2B1 transgene responsible for the bioactivation of the...
