Oncolytic viruses, such as vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), are a promising class of cancer therapeutics. Here the authors report that a mutation in the CSDE1 gene renders cancer cells resistant to VSV replication and oncolysis, but a mutation-derived escape-associated neoantigen could be exploited for immunotherapy against treatment-resistant tumors.
