 However, even this replication-deficient virus can induce the cancer cells death and stimulate anti-tumor immunity.It can trigger extensive apoptosis of human glioblastoma cells in culture, and it can efficiently suppress the growth of these cells in model animals.The ultraviolet light treated virus can also kill human prostate cancer cells in culture by triggering their apoptosis and eradicate tumors that originated from these cells in immunodeficient model animals.
