The first oncolytic virus (Rigvir£¿, ECHO-7) was registered in Latvia over a decade ago. In a recent retrospective study Rigvir£¿ decreased mortality 4.39-6.57-fold in stage IB-IIC melanoma patients. The aims of the present study are to test the effect of Rigvir£¿ on cell line viability in vitro and to visualize the cellular presence of Rigvir£¿ by immunocytochemistry. %K ECHO-7 virus %K immunocytochemistry %K oncolytic virus %K cell viability %K Rigvir. %U http://www.jcancer.org/v09p1033.htm
