Abstract excerpt
Adenoviral chimeric tumor suppressor 1 (CTS1) gene transfer was evaluated as a novel approach of somatic gene therapy for malignant glioma. CTS1 is an artificial p53-based gene designed to resist various pathways of p53 inactivation. Here, we report that an adenovirus encoding CTS1 (Ad-CTS1) induces growth arrest and loss of viability in all glioma cell lines examined, in the absence of specific cell cycle...
