A novel fusogenic herpes simplex virus for oncolytic virotherapy of squamous cell carcinoma

2011 
Background R849 is a neurovirulent γ134.5 gene-deficient form of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and has LacZ genes at the deleted sites of the γ134.5 gene. HF is a spontaneously occurring, fusogenic HSV-1 strain. The purpose of this work was to generate a virus that has the syncytial character of HF, while preserving the γ134.5 gene inactivation profile of R849 virus.
