A comparative study of replicative properties of antitumor recombinant vaccinia viruses on human glioblastoma cell culture U87 and monkey kidney cell culture CV-1 by R. A. Maksyutov, I. V. Kolosova, T. V. Tregubchak, I. A. Razumov, S. N. Shchelkunov

“…Furthermore, the virus with five virulence genes deleted (genes encoding hemagglutinin, γ-interferonbinding protein, thymidine kinase, complementbinding protein and Bcl2-like inhibitor of apoptosis), which has significantly lower reactogenicity and neurovirulence compared to the original strain LIVP of VACV, was studied. These data suggest that variants of vaccinia virus with a defective gene encoding thymidine kinase most actively replicate in glioblastoma cell culture.…”
