Book Synopsis Oncolytic Virotherapy by : Ahmed Majeed Al-Shammari
Download or read book Oncolytic Virotherapy written by Ahmed Majeed Al-Shammari and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using viruses to treat cancer is an established concept, and many viruses have shown promising anti-tumor efficacies. Oncolytic viruses are safe and well-characterized pathogens with a stable genome. The outstanding clinical results for oncolytic virotherapy deserve serious attention and consideration to make it a treatment option alongside classical cancer therapeutics. Virotherapy uses replication-competent oncolytic viruses to replicate and destroy cancer cells selectively. The transformed nature of cancer cells offers a permissive environment for some viruses’ replication and to complement viral mutations. The in situ amplification and spread within the tumor mass is the key benefit of such replication-competent viruses. Oncolytic virotherapy is divided into two main groups, according to tumor specificity: naturally oncolytic viruses to replicate in human cancer cells; and gene-modified viruses engineered to accomplish selective oncolysis.

Download or read book Understanding the “Oncolytic Virus (OV) Basis & Therapy.” written by Dr. Hakim. K. Saboowala and published by Dr.Hakim Saboowala. This book was released on with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the “Oncolytic Virus (OV) Basis & Therapy.” Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are an emerging class of cancer therapeutics that offer the: · Benefits of selective replication in tumour cells, · Delivery of multiple eukaryotic transgene payloads, · Induction of immunogenic cell death and promotion of antitumour immunity, and · Tolerable safety profile that largely does not overlap with that of other cancer therapeutics. To date, four OVs and one non-oncolytic virus have been approved for the treatment of cancer globally although talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) remains the only widely approved therapy. Despite increasing research interest, a better understanding of the underlying biology of OVs is needed to enable the full therapeutic potential of these agents in patients with cancer. Thus, it is strived in this Booklet to precisely describe: ü Time-line History of oncolytic virus development, ü Mechanisms of Tumour Tropism, ü Mechanisms of action of virus destroying tumour cells and ü Inherent and engineered oncolytic viruses. Further, it is also attempted to describe on optimization of the use of OVs in clinical practice along with plenty of relevant IMAGES for better understanding. …Dr. H. K. Saboowala.

Book Synopsis Human Herpesviruses by : Yasushi Kawaguchi
Download or read book Human Herpesviruses written by Yasushi Kawaguchi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces and reviews several topics for each human herpesvirus. One of the most important features of the book is that it covers aspects of both basic research and clinical medicine. Herpesviridae, a family of double-strand DNA viruses, has unique biological features by which these viruses establish latency after primary infection and reactivate in later life. Nine human herpesviruses are known so far, and each of them causes a variety of diseases in both primary infection and reactivation. Since the discovery of each human herpesvirus, an abundance of findings related to them has accumulated in basic research and clinical medicine. However, the vast majority of biological features is still masked in mystery. Furthermore, a strategy of treatment and prevention has not yet been established for most human herpesviruses. A wide range of readers will be interested in this volume with its treatment of problematic points and latest findings in the field.

Download or read book Virotherapy written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Virotherapy Reprogramming viruses in order to cure illness is an example of virotherapy, which is a kind of treatment that makes use of biotechnology to turn viruses into therapeutic agents. Anti-cancer oncolytic viruses, viral vectors for gene therapy, and viral immunotherapy are the three primary subspecialties that fall under the umbrella term "virotherapy." Gene overexpression, gene knockout, and suicide gene delivery are the three distinct approaches that are used by these branches throughout the therapeutic process. Gene overexpression results in the addition of genetic sequences that make up for insufficient or nonexistent amounts of essential gene expression. Gene silencing or expression reduction may be achieved by gene deletion by using RNA-based techniques. The delivery of suicide genes involves the introduction of genetic sequences that trigger an apoptotic response in cells; this is often done in order to eliminate malignant growths. In a somewhat different setting, the term "virotherapy" may also refer to the use of viruses to cure certain medical problems by eliminating infections. This is one definition of the term.

Book Synopsis Oncolytic Virus Immunotherapy by : Antonio Marchini
Download or read book Oncolytic Virus Immunotherapy written by Antonio Marchini and published by Mdpi AG. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Readers, Oncolytic Viruses (OV) are self-propagating agents that can selectively induce the lysis of cancer cells while sparing normal tissues. OV-mediated cancer cell death is often immunogenic and triggers robust anticancer immune responses and immunoconversion of tumor microenvironments. This makes oncolytic virotherapy a promising new form of immunotherapy and OVs ideal candidates for combination therapy with other anticancer agents, including other immunotherapeutics. There are more than 40 OVs from nine different families in clinical development and many more at the preclinical stage. Each OV has its own unique characteristics, its pros and cons. Although herpes simplex virus is currently the lead clinical agent, a real champion among the OVs has not yet emerged, justifying the continuous development and optimization of these agents. This book, "Oncolytic Virus Immunotherapy", summarizes the state-of-the-art and gives a comprehensive overview of the OV arena with a particular focus on new trends, directions, challenges, and opportunities.

Book Synopsis Harnessing Oncolytic Virus-mediated Antitumor Immunity by : Philippe Fournier
Download or read book Harnessing Oncolytic Virus-mediated Antitumor Immunity written by Philippe Fournier and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have emerged as a promising anticancer treatment. OVs selectively infect, replicate in, and kill tumor cells. Oncolytic viral therapy occurs in two phases: an initial phase where the virus mediates direct oncolysis of tumor cells, and a second phase where an induced post-oncolytic immune response continues to mediate tumor destruction and retards progression of the disease. For a long time, the therapeutic efficacy was thought to depend mainly on the direct viral oncolysis based on their tumor selective replication and killing activities. But the post-oncolytic anti-tumor activity induced by the OV therapy is also a key factor for an efficient therapeutic activity. The topic adresses various strategies how to optimize OVs anti-tumor activity.
Book Synopsis Immunological Aspects of Viral Oncolysis by : Jean Lindenmann
Download or read book Immunological Aspects of Viral Oncolysis written by Jean Lindenmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: mouse tissue alloantigen detected by this procedure. An antigen of cross-reacting specificity was revealed in tissue extracts of many other animal species. We next wanted to learn more about the antigen responsible for induction of postoncolytic immunity. Extracts from virus-infected tumors were immunogenic, and both active and inactive fractions of such extracts were obtained. The growth of the virus in the tumor cells was studied with the electron microscope, in the hope that this might shed some light on the manner in which viral infection transforms a poorly immunogenic tumor into a highly immunogenic one. We consider none of the questions which our work has raised as definitely solved. In fact, we are still working on many of the aspects alluded to above. When we embarked on a study of postoncolytic immunity, we were supported in this endeavor by our lack of experience in the fields of transplantation and tumor immunology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Oncolytic Virus A virus is said to be oncolytic if it targets cancer cells for infection and then proceeds to destroy those cells. As a result of the oncolysis, infected cancer cells are being eliminated, which results in the production of additional infectious virus particles called virions, which further contribute to the elimination of the residual tumor. It is believed that oncolytic viruses not only induce the direct killing of tumor cells, but also activate the host's anti-tumor immune system responses. [Citation needed] [Citation needed] In addition to this, oncolytic viruses are able to influence the microenvironment of the tumor in a variety of different ways.
