2003 JUL 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Primary ovarian cancer spheroids host replicative adenovirus targeting integrin.

According to a study from Finland, "replication competent viruses hold promise for treatment of advanced cancers resistant to available therapeutic modalities. Although preliminary clinical results have substantiated their efficacy, preclinical development of these novel approaches is limited by assay substrates. The evaluation of candidate agents could be confounded by differences between primary tumor cells and tumor cell lines, as discordance in the levels of surface receptors relevant for viral entry has been reported."

"Since primary tumor cells are difficult to analyze ex vivo for longitudinal observation of virus replication, we developed three-dimensional aggregates or spheroids of unpassaged and purified ovarian cancer cells as a means for prolonging primary tumor cell viability and as a three-dimensional in vitro model for replicative viral infection," said J.T. Lam and colleagues, University of Helsinki.

"Ovarian cancer cells purified from ascites samples were sustained for 30 days while retaining the infection profile with tropism modified and unmodified ...
