By Alex Fazioli

Talimogene Laherparepvec (T-VEC) is an engineered Herpes simplex virus type 1 designed to specifically target, reproduce, and lyse human tumor cells [1]. T-VEC also produces granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to improve the antitumor immune response within the human body upon the lysis of tumor cells [1]. T-VEC avoids infecting non-cancerous cells by having all copies of two key neurovirulence factor genes deleted RL1 and US12 [2]. The deletion of the US12 gene puts its promoter in close proximity to the US11 increasing its expression which has been shown to increase the ability of T-VEC to replicate within tumour cells [3].
