Abstract excerpt
Point mutations in the K-ras gene are observed at a high incidence in human pancreatic carcinomas. These alterations can be used as potential targets for specific ribozyme-mediated reversal of the malignant phenotype. We designed an anti-K-ras ribozyme against codon 12 of the mutant K-ras gene transcripts (GGT right curved arrow GTT), and generated a recombinant adenovirus to express the ribozyme (rAd/anti-K-ras...
