The thing to worry about with Onyx-O15 is that if this isn't true...

>>defective p53 signal is required for replication<<

and a defective p53 signal is not necessary then their patent protection may be in danger...since their mutant virus would b a slower replicating Ad vs. wt. So for treatment of cancer it might be more beneficial to just to use a wt Ad instead, since the faster replication will lyse the infected cells sooner...increasing the amount of viral spread & tumor shrinkage before the immune response really kicks in. Then why would it be more beneficial to use the mutant virus? (JMHO)...Best of Luck, Where'd He Go?
