QUESTION 2
2.1 Read the extract below and then answer the questions that follow.
VIRUS AS MEDICINE
Genetically engineered virus can cure cancer
A study has revealed that a genetically modified form of the virus that causes the disease
herpes is an effective remedy against skin cancer. The use of this virus to treat cancer
(virotherapy) raises the average life expectancy of patients by 41 months as compared to
other forms of therapy which increased the average life expectancy of patients by 21,5
months.
The modified herpes virus multiplies inside cancer cells until they burst open. After
virotherapy, the immune system becomes capable of detecting and attacking the cancer
throughout the body.
Adapted from http://rt.com/news
2.1.1. On average, how much longer (in months) did patients survive when on
virotherapy as compared with other forms of therapy?
(1)
2.1.2 Describe how the modified herpes virus kills the cancer cells. (2)
2.1.3 State the consequence of using UNMODIFIED herpes viruses for
virotherapy. (1)
2.1.4 After virotherapy the immune system is able to detect the cancer cells.
Explain how the immune system responds to attack the cancer cells. (2)
