Developments in genetic engineering have allowed researchers and clinicians to begin harnessing viruses to target and kill cancer cells, either through direct lysis or through recruitment of antiviral immune responses. Two powerful viruses in the fight against cancer are the single-stranded RNA viruses vesicular stomatitis virus and Zika virus. Here, we describe methods to propagate and titer these two viruses. We also describe a simple cell-killing assay to begin testing modified viruses for increased potential killing of glioblastoma cells.
