Abstract

The orphan parvovirus tumor virus X (TVX) has potent oncolytic activity. Compared to other viruses from the species Rodent protoparvovirus 1, TVX has a 111 nucleotide deletion in its nonstructural (NS) gene, a 24 nucleotide insertion in VP1, and a 93 nucleotide repeat initiating from the C-terminus of the capsid gene.
