luciferase-encoding Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (ΔICP27), hTERT-luciferase(Cat#: RepOV-0035XY)

This product is a luciferase encoding oncolytic herpes simplex virus, which is based on HSV-1 with ICP27 deleted. ICP27 is highly cytotoxic probably due to its secondary role of preventing the splicing of pre-mRNAs in favour of translation from the mainly unspliced hepes RNAs. Deletion of ICP27 might produce a safer and less cytotoxic system when combined with other oncolytic-rendered modifications. This product can be used in oncolytic virotherapy research and further recombinant HSV construction.

Serotype Herpes simplex virus 1
Backbone HSV-1 (ΔICP27)
Backbone Background Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), also known as human herpesvirus 1 and 2 (HHV-1 and HHV-2), are two members of the human Herpesviridae family, a set of viruses that produce viral infections in the majority of humans. Modified Herpes simplex virus is considered as a potential therapy for cancer and has been extensively clinically tested to assess its oncolytic ability.

Information

Introduction Luciferase is a generic term for the class of oxidative enzymes that produce bioluminescence, and is usually distinguished from a photoprotein. Luciferases are widely used in biotechnology, for microscopy and as reporter genes, for many of the same applications as fluorescent proteins. However, unlike fluorescent proteins, luciferases do not require an external light source, but do require addition of luciferin, the consumable substrate.
