A recombinant myxoma virus that encodes the orfC gene of walleye dermal sarcoma virus (WDSV). The orfC gene of walleye dermal sarcoma virus (WDSV) plays a role in induction of seasonal regression of tumors caused by WDSV. This gene was isolated from WDSV and recombined into myxoma virus (MYXV orfC) for use as an oncolytic therapy. The recombinant myxoma virus can be used in oncolytic virus therapy to specifically target and lyse cancer cells without harming healthy cells in cancer patients.

The present disclosure describes the fusogenic activity of the Myomaker protein. This polypeptide, when expressed in non-muscle cells, is able to drive fusion of the cell with a muscle cell, but not with other non-muscle cells. The use of this protein and cell expressing it in the delivery of exogenous genetic material to muscle cells also is described.
