Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Hyperthermia kills glioma cells by inducing apoptosis and is thereby an effective therapeutic modality for the treatment of malignant gliomas. However, cells harboring mutated p53 are refractory to hyperthermia-induced apoptosis. In this study, we assessed whether or not adenovirus (Adv)-mediated transduction of p53 overrides this resistant mechanism. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We transduced the p53...
