The replicability of oncolytic virus: Defining conditions in tumor virotherapy

Abstract: The replicability of an oncolytic virus is measured by its burst size. The burst size is the number of new viruses coming out from a lysis of an infected tumor cell. Some clinical evidences show that the burst size of an oncolytic virus is a defining parameter for the success of virotherapy. This article analyzes a basic mathematical model that includes burst size for oncolytic virotherapy. The analysis of the model shows that there are two threshold values of the burst size: below the first threshold, the tum… Show more

“…Virus production is dependent on its burst size, that is, the larger the burst size, the higher the number of viruses produced [57]. Virus production is taken to be bδI, where b is the virus burst size measured per day and δ is the infected tumour cell death rate measured per day [57].…”
