Gamma Camera Dual Imaging with a Somatostatin Receptor and Thymidine Kinase after Gene Transfer with a Bicistronic Adenovirus in Mice
1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To compare two systems for assessing gene transfer to cancer cells and xenograft tumors with noninvasive gamma camera imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A replication-incompetent adenovirus encoding the human type 2 somatostatin receptor (hSSTr2) and the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (TK) enzyme (Ad-hSSTr2-TK) was constructed. A-427 human lung cancer cells were infected in vitro and mixed with...
