TREATMENT OF BRAIN CANCER WITH ONCOLYTIC ADENOVIRUS

摘要

The present disclosure involves compositions and methods for treating brain cancers having mutations in the retinoblastoma (Rb) pathway using an oncolytic adenovirus comprising an alteration in the Rb binding site of El A, and a targeting motif inserted in the Ad fiber protein. The adenovirus is able to kill the tumor cells without harming cells with a wild-type retinoblastoma pathway.
