Source: Author: Published date: 2008-05-11
In order to carry out experimental brain tumor, London Robarts Research Institute of Canada and Dr. Grant McFadden of the University of Calgary professor Dr. Peter Forsyth of cooperation. Dr. Peter Forsyth development of a human glioma with the mouse model. In the past two years, the laboratory determined that the virus in the mouse model of human malignant tumor results.
The virus will be injected into tumors in mice can be cured 13 of the 92% of the mice, and at the end of the trial of these "cured" of the mice also live (survival time of more than 130 days). Moreover, this approach only in the region injection caused a very slight inflammation.
This low side effects and other factors revealed myxoma virus can be treated as a human malignant brain tumor of the drug has the potential for further investigation.
In addition, in this study, the University of Ottawa also played an important role. The school's Dr. John Bell initiated the Canadian Oncolytic Virus Co ortium, to study various viruses for the treatment of cancer potential. 2004, Bell and from London and Calgary's team started the study.
At present, McFadden and Forsyth are planning to test the treatment of a lethal virus of the melanoma results. They will be tagged with a fluorescent protein the virus and its follow-up study in mice in the reaction process.
