Abstract: This document relates to methods and materials involved in treating cancer. For example, methods and materials for using one or more oncolytic viruses (e.g., one or more replicating oncolytic viruses) to treat cancer in a mammal (e.g., a human) identified as having a cancer likely to respond to oncolytic virotherapy are provided.

Abstract: A communication connector includes a housing having a panel flange configured to abut against a rear of a panel and a mating end configured to be positioned forward of the panel. The housing has panel nut threads and a panel nut is threadably coupled thereto. The panel nut has a tether extending therefrom with a first tether loop secured to the panel nut and a second tether loop at a second end. A protective cap is removably coupled to the mating end of the housing. The protective cap has a lanyard extending therefrom having a first lanyard loop removably coupled to the second tether loop. When the protective cap is coupled to the mating end, access to the at least one conductor is restricted, and when the protective cap is removed from the mating end, access to the at least one conductor is allowed.

Abstract: A connector having a front and back orientation and comprising: (a) a cable having at least a jacket and an optical fiber; (b) a ferrule assembly comprising a rear portion for attachment to said jacket, and a ferrule defining a bore hole for containing said optical fiber; (c) a housing having a front portion configured for mating with a mating structure and a back portion configured for attachment to a boot; (d) a spring biasing said ferrule assembly forward in said housing; and (e) a boot secured to said back portion of said housing and extending rearward around said tight-jacketed cable, said boot having an internal channel large enough to allow axial movement of said ferrule assembly relative to said boot.
