An adenovirus mutant that replicates selectively in p53-deficient human tumor cells.

TL;DR: Injection of the mutant virus into p53-deficient human cervical carcinomas grown in nude mice caused a significant reduction in tumor size and caused complete regression of 60 percent of the tumors, raising the possibility that mutant adenoviruses can be used to treat certain human tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

ONYX-015, an E1B gene-attenuated adenovirus, causes tumor-specific cytolysis and antitumoral efficacy that can be augmented by standard chemotherapeutic agents

TL;DR: It is reported that normal human cells were highly resistant to ONYX-015-mediated, replication-dependent cytolysis and a wide range of human tumor cells, including numerous carcinoma lines with either mutant or normal p53 gene sequences, were efficiently destroyed.
Journal ArticleDOI

An essential role for Rac in Ras transformation

TL;DR: It is shown that Ratl fibroblasts expressing activated Val-12 Racl (Racl with valine at residue 12) display all the hallmarks of malignant transformation and that Rac is essential for transformation by Ras, indicating that oncogenic Ras drives both the Rac and MAP-kinase pathways, which cooperate to cause transformation.
