Regression of Human Mammary Adenocarcinoma by Systemic Administration of a Recombinant Gene Encoding the hFlex-TRAIL Fusion Protein
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, TRAIL, is a new member of the TNF family. It can specifically induce apoptosis in a variety of human tumors. To investigate the possibility of employing the TRAIL gene for systemic cancer therapy, we constructed a recombinant gene encoding the soluble form of the human Flt3L gene (hFlex) at the 5' end and the human TRAIL gene at the 3' end. Such...
