The Oncolytic Activity of Myxoma Virus against Soft Tissue Sarcoma Is Mediated by the Overexpression of Ribonucleotide Reductase

Background: Myxoma virus (MYXV) is an oncolytic poxvirus that lacks the gene for 1 of the subunits of ribonucleotide reductase (RR), a crucial DNA synthesis and repair enzyme. The overexpression of RR has been implicated in the invasiveness of several cancers, including soft tissue sarcomas (STS). T...
