Talk:Indiana vesiculovirus

Cancer/Current Research Section
The stuff about VSV and cancer really needs citations soon or it should get deleted. Looks like it's been there for over a year without a cite. The "current research" section didn't add anything content-wise so I deleted it; it looked like some PI trying to promote his/her project or something...

Please prove me wrong by expanding it while using proper citations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sardino (talk • contribs) 23:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

The section about VSV being an oncolytic virus says that VSV works on several different cancer types. The reference to Ozduman et al in J Neuroscience however is only about gliobastoma, where the Yale Neurosurgery Dept treated mice with laboratory glioblastoma using VSV and the VSV wiped out the brain tumors; wiped out the brain cancer. VSV likes to replicate in rapidly growing cells; in nondividing cells, not so much. Maybe that makes VSV oncolytic; maybe not; but it certainly makes it hell on wheels for brain cancer.

It would be nice if somebody were to summarize Ozduman et al's research for the Wikipedia article. Richard8081 (talk) 04:37, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Why does article put indiana in the name
None of the reference titles say indiana - nor does the summary in Oncolytic_virus. Has the virus species been renamed ? or is indiana one of many strains/types/species of VSV - It would be nice if article had a history section to explain ? - Rod57 (talk) 17:10, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I agrree, and actually this article actually needs to be dumped in favor of the much more common usage of VSV, and not "VSIV". LaurentianShield (talk) 03:10, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
