Effect of Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase Expression Levels on Ganciclovir-Mediated Cytotoxicity and the “Bystander Effect”
1 Nov 1995
Abstract excerpt
Transfer of the herpes simplex virus type-1 thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) gene into tumor cells followed by ganciclovir (GCV) administration, will provide selective tumor cell killing. We studied the effect of herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) expression level on the HSV-tk/GCV-mediated “bystander effect.” Clones of HSV-tk-transduced rat glioma cells (9L) were isolated that stably expressed with...
