Oncolytic H-1 parvovirus binds to sialic acid on laminins for cell attachment and entry

Rat H-1 parvovirus (H-1PV) is in clinical development for oncolytic therapy. Here, Kulkarni et al. identify LAMC1 as a modulator of H-1PV cell attachment and entry and find that LAMC1 levels and H-1PV oncolytic activity correlate in 59 tested cancer cell lines.
