Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to the invention, parvoviruses such as the adeno-associated virus Type 2 (AAV2) are found to be oncolytic, selectively mediating apoptosis in cancer cells and their precursors, while leaving healthy cells intact. The invention also includes a method of killing cancer and other neoplastic and preneoplastic cells by administrating to said cells the AAV2 proteins Rep78 or Rep 68, expression constucts encoding the same, or pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating or ameliorating cancer comprising administering to a patient having cancer, a recombinant protein comprising AAV2 Rep68 and AAV2 Rep78, and inducing an increase in S-phase entry in cancer cells in said patient, wherein said treatment or amelioration of said cancer is performed without inclusion of any additional anti-cancer compound, chemotherapeutic agent, or other DNA damaging agent. 2. The method of claim 1 w…
