Oncolytic virus for treating brain tumors using recombinant Newcastle disease virus into which Newcastle disease virus vector-based PTEN gene is inserted and composition for treating brain tumors using same

Abstract

Provided are an oncolytic virus for treating brain tumors using a recombinant Newcastle disease virus into which a Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vector-based PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) gene is inserted and a composition for treating brain tumors using the same which can be used for a therapeutic viral agent that can induce reduction of clinical symptoms or partial or complete remission through brain tumor cell death or brain tumor tissue reduction by expressing normal PTEN protein after being infected with brain tumor cells, as a recombinant Newcastle disease virus containing a human PTEN protein gene.
