Abstract excerpt
Tp53 is frequently mutated or inactivated in glioblastomas. Due to the impairment of p53 activity, glioblastomas show a high degree of radioresistance. In an attempt to convert the radioresistant phenotype to a more radiosensitive one, we evaluated the efficacy of the combination of Adp53 gene transfer and X-ray irradiation. The combination of Adp53, at low multiplicity in order to mimic the low in vivo...
