A virus from humble black-eyed peas is showing extraordinary promise in the fight against cancer. Unlike other plant viruses, the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) can awaken the human immune system and ...
A virus that typically infects black-eyed peas is showing great promise as a low-cost, potent cancer immunotherapy—and researchers are uncovering why. In a study published in Cell Biomaterials, a team ...
Viruses aren't always bad. In fact, scientists can harness the capabilities of some viruses for good—modifying the viruses to carry drug molecules, for example. One useful virus has been cowpea mosaic ...

A common plant virus once known only for infecting black-eyed peas is now taking center stage in cancer research. This virus, known as cowpea mosaic virus or CPMV, is being studied as a promising, ...
In a study published in May 2009 issue of PLoS Pathogens, Manchester and her colleagues show that CPMV interacts with the mammalian protein vimentin — an interaction that scientists can now explore ...
How a Plant Virus Trains the Immune System The researchers tested CPMV in mice and even in pet dogs with cancer. In both cases, the results were striking. When they injected the virus directly into ...
