Target intelligence / Profile preview

Cancer cell lysis via selective viral replication dependent on cellular thymidine kinase

Molecular classification
Enzyme (Thymidine Kinase 1), Oncolytic virus
01

Overview

This therapeutic strategy targets cancer cells by exploiting their elevated thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) activity to enable selective replication of engineered oncolytic viruses. The approach leads to the lysis of tumor cells while sparing normal tissues.

02

Mechanism of action

Engineered virus replicates selectively where cellular TK activity supports efficient DNA synthesis; leads to targeted tumor cell death
