Therapeutic Effect of a Retroviral Wild-Type p53 Expression Vector in an Orthotopic Lung Cancer Model
5 Oct 1994
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene (also known as TP53) are common in human lung cancers. The wild-type form of p53 is dominant over the mutant; thus, restoration of wild-type p53 function in lung cancer cells may suppress their growth as tumors. PURPOSE: We investigated the therapeutic efficacy of direct administration of a retroviral wild-type p53 (wt-p53) expression vector (LNp53B) in an...
