Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated that protein kinase B (PKB) is a mediator of heat-induced apoptosis for human breast cancer cells. To investigate the therapeutic potential of abrogating the function of this important survival protein, a novel replication-deficient adenovirus was constructed, wherein a mutant, kinase-inactive PKB gene (AAA) was inserted downstream of the CMV promoter. Two human breast cancer cell...
