The Effect of Herpes Simplex Virus Virion Host Shutoff Gene- a New Suicide Gene- on Tumor Cells
Background: The herpes simplex virus (HSV) UL41 gene product, virion host shutoff (Vhs) protein, mediates the rapid degradation of both viral and cellular mRNA. This ability suggests that Vhs protein can be used as a suicide gene in cancer gene therapy applications. The recent reports have shown that the degradation of cellular mRNA during herpes simplex infection is selective. RNA containing A...
متن کاملHerpes Simplex Virus vector-based gene therapy for malignant glioma
Conventional therapies have made little impact on the poor prognosis associated with malignant glioma. Recent advances in the construction of replication-defective Herpes Simplex Virus (HPV)-based vectors have offered an opportunity to explore the therapeutic affects of simultaneous multiple transgene delivery to these tumours. Identification of co-operative molecular targets has enabled the ra...
متن کاملVector-mediated Gene Therapy and the Herpes Simplex Virus
The entirety of any organism is achieved primarily by the regulated expression of the components of its genome. We are the phenotypic result of our genotypic expression. That is, our gene products are integrally responsible for the physical, intellectual and behavioral traits that identify us as individuals. Genes are hereditary material composed of nucleotide sequences that code for the synthe...
متن کاملA replication-competent, neuronal spread-defective, live attenuated herpes simplex virus type 1 vaccine.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) produces oral lesions, encephalitis, keratitis, and severe infections in the immunocompromised host. HSV-1 is almost as common as HSV-2 in causing first episodes of genital herpes, a disease that is associated with an increased risk of human immunodeficiency virus acquisition and transmission. No approved vaccines are currently available to protect against HS...
متن کاملCellular Immunity to Herpes Simplex Virus Mediated by Interferon
Rabbit kidney cell monolayers infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV) were incubated with leukocytes from rabbits immunized with complete Freund's adjuvant. When the leukocytes were exposed to tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD), viral replication and plaque formation were markedly inhibited. Similarly, when leukocytes from animals immunized with HSV were exposed to UV-inactivated HSV...
