Abstract excerpt
Tumor cells that express a fusion gene of Escherichia coli cytosine deaminase (CD) and herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (TK) sequences activate and are subsequently killed by the nontoxic prodrugs 5-fluorocytosine and ganciclovir. We have previously developed a recombinant adenovirus containing the CD-TK fusion gene controlled by the human inducible heat shock protein 70 promoter so that heat at 41...
