Tumour-targeted delivery of TRAIL using Salmonella typhimurium enhances breast cancer survival in mice
27 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: An effective cancer therapeutic must selectively target tumours with minimal systemic toxicity. Expression of a cytotoxic protein using Salmonella typhimurium would enable spatial and temporal control of delivery because these bacteria preferentially target tumours over normal tissue. METHODS: We engineered non-pathogenic S. typhimurium to secrete murine TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)...
