Detection of NV1066-infected cancer cells using EGFP fluorescence in human samples (magnification 30×). (A) Cytological examination showed benign mesothelial cells, as read by an attending pathologist. (B) These benign cells did not fluoresce when viewed under the green fluorescent protein (EGFP) filter. (C, E) Cytological examination showed malignant cells in samples from patients with non-small cell lung cancer. (D, F) Malignant cells expressed green fluorescence under the enhanced EGFP filter.
