Abstract

Lymphoma is the most prevalent type of cancer in cats, and the search for alternative treatments is of utmost importance given the significant number of animals that exhibit tumor recurrence or are unresponsive to conventional chemotherapy treatment. Oncolytic viruses possess a unique ability to target and eliminate cancer cells while simultaneously stimulating an immune response against these malignant cells. The present study aimed to explore the oncolytic potential of Newcastle Disease Virus expressing green fluorescent protein (NDV-GFP) in a feline leukemia virus (FeLV)-positive lymphoma cell line. Our research suggests that NDV-GFP has a propensity to selectively target, infiltrate, and replicate with-in feline lymphoma cells, resulting in the induction of apoptosis in these cells, as opposed to non-tumor cells. Therefore, our research provides evidence supporting the development of novel oncolytic therapies based on NDV for the treatment of feline lymphomas.
