NCIt definition : A preparation of naturally occurring, oncolytic enterovirus, with potential antineoplastic
activity. Upon administration, gebasaxturev targets and binds to intracellular adhesion
molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and decay acceleration factor (DAF), both cell surface molecules
that are overexpressed on certain malignant cells. After entering the cells, gebasaxturev
replicates in these cancer cells, thereby causing cancer cell lysis. This results
in a reduction of tumor cell growth.;
