Cancer is a disease of autonomous and uncontrolled cell
proliferation which deregulates cell division and sometimes
metastasis.It is an effort to treat squamous cell carcinoma by
using benefit of oncolytic property of apoptin.Which is a protein
produced by chicken Infectious anemia virous in poultry.CAI is one
of the smallest avian viruses it is 23-25 nm in size, icosahedral
in shape and non enveloped, having a 2.3 Kb, and single-standered
DNA genome.The VP3 protein "Apoptin" synthesized by CIA Virus has a
unique property when exposed to human tissue cultures.Previous
research has concludeded that transformed (cancerous)cells infected
with a vector containing the gene for expressing VP3 (Apoptin)under
go synthesis.Apoptin also causes apoptosis in SV40-transformed
fibroblasts or UV-irradiated cells from individual with hereditary
cancer-prone syndromes.Where as, when the gene for apoptin
synthesis was expressed in infected normal cells, cell death was
not observed.
