Overview of Talimogene Laherparepvev (T-VEC)

Figure 1: Transmission Electron Micrograph of a Herpes Simple Virus Particle by Jay C. Brown of the University of Virginia. [http://darwin.bio.uci.edu/~faculty/wagner/hsv2f.html.


Figure 2: Image of the local and systemic effects of T-VEC. The local impact of T-VEC includes replication within cancer cells and release of virus particles upon cell lysis. The systemic impact of T-VEC includes the release of tumor specific antigens and the activation of Dendritic cells by GM-CSF.
