The antitumor activity of this HSV-1 was evaluatedin C57BL/6 mice harboring orthotopic glioma expressing mutant and wild type IDH1 with loss of ATRX and TP53. HSV-1 rQNestin34.5v2 infected wild type and mIDH1 murine glioma cells in vitrotriggering cytotoxicity and release of proinflammatory chemokines in infectedcells. Mice harboring mIDH1 gliomas exhibited a less aggressive phenotype and significantly longer survival period compared to those with IDH1 wild type gliomas.
