Interferon and VirotherapyCasey, Kyle, Mark, Wyt
What is Virotherapy?
• New form of cancer treatment
• Utilizes viruses to target cancer cells
• Safer than modern cancer treatments
• Targeted treatment
Why Viruses?
• Common and well understood
• Natural
• Variety
• Size
• Programmable
Relation to Nanotech
• Size in Nanometers– Avg. 10 and 300 Nanometers
• Related to Gene Therapy
• Emphasis on DNA and proteins
• “Drug Delivery”
Interferon
• Present in healthy cell
• Prevents viral reproduction
• Alerts immune system
• Lacked by cancerous cells
