A Novel Oncolytic Chimeric Orthopoxvirus Encoding Luciferase Enables Real-Time View of Colorectal Cancer Cell Infection

This study hypothesizes that a novel oncolytic chimeric orthopoxvirus CF33-Fluc is imageable and targets colorectal cancer cells (CRCs). A novel chimeric orthopoxvirus (CF33) was constructed. The thymidine kinase locus was replaced with firefly luciferase (Fluc) to yield a recombinant virus—CF33-Flu...
