Claudin‐4‐targeted therapy using <i>Clostridium perfringens</i> enterotoxin for prostate cancer
8 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) triggers lysis of epithelial cells through binding to tight-junction proteins claudin-3 (Cldn3) and Cldn4, which are over-expressed in prostate cancer.
