Genetic engineering and preclinical evaluation of oncolytic herpes simplex viruses retargeted to cancer-specific receptors
Oncolytic virotherapy exploits the ability of viruses to infect and kill cells. It is suitable as treatment for tumors that are not accessible by surgery and/or respond poorly to the current therapeutic approach. HSV is a promising oncolytic agent. It has a large genome size able to accommodate la...
