Newcastle Virus Modified To Kill Only Prostate Cancer Cells
An ideal cure for cancer will only kill cancer cells while leaving all other cell types alone. It is quite difficult to develop such a narrowly targeted anti-cancer agent. However, some VPI researchers have genetically modified a virus so that it selectively targets and kills only prostate cancer cells. A recombinant Newcastle disease virus kills all kinds of prostate cancer cells, including hormone resistant cells, but leaves normal cells unscathed, according to a paper published online ahead of print in the Journal of Virology.
