In a recent article published in Viruses by Hietanen et al. [...]

Reply to Alberts, P. Comment on “Hietanen et al. Cytolytic Properties and Genome Analysis of Rigvir® Oncolytic Virotherapy Virus and Other Echovirus 7 Isolates. Viruses 2022, 14, 525”

“…In addition, we used the genome sequences made by us and others to put Rigvir on a phylogenetic map of echovirus 7 isolates. In his comments, Dr. Alberts aims to clarify the actual state of Rigvir as a potential oncolytic virus in clinical use from company perspective [1]. We admit that his comments correctly declare that our paper does not include any clinical data.…”
