Abstract excerpt
One of the promising strategies for targeting replication of oncolytic adenovirus in tumor cells is to regulate the expression of essential viral genes such as E1a by using tumor- or tissue-specific promoters that are preferentially active in cancer cells. However, this approach may lead to some degree of viral replication in normal cells other than in cancer cells if the viral gene also expresses in normal...
