Strength and specificity of different gene promoters in oral cancer cells.

Abstract excerpt

Gene therapy of oral cancer will require expression of genes by promoters that are both powerful and relatively tumor specific. We compared the level of expression of a reporter gene from promoters of human cytomegalovirus (CMV), SV40 virus, mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), human papillomaviruses (HPV) types 16 and 18, and the human multi-drug-resistance gene (mdr1), in several lines of oral cancer cells. In the...
