Tumor Cell Lysis via Selective Viral Replication (Oncolytic Virotherapy)

Target
Oncolytic Virotherapy
Molecular classification
Virus, Immunotherapy
01

Overview

Tumor cell lysis via selective viral replication refers to the process by which certain viruses, known as oncolytic viruses (OVs), are engineered or naturally possess the ability to preferentially infect, replicate within, and destroy cancer cells while sparing normal tissues. This approach leverages the unique vulnerabilities of tumor cells to achieve targeted cytolysis and stimulate anti-tumor immunity.
