Changes in the angiogenic profile of tumors derived from rats with D74/HveC glioma cells 12 hours after treatment with oncolytic HSV-1 (hrR3). The animals were killed after 12 hours, total RNA was obtained from each tumor tissue, and the levels of indicated gene expression relative to endogenous β-actin were evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR, as described.
Genes which are significantly induced upon OV infection of tumors. Genes with a significant change in expression upon OV infection are in bold.
