Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To explore the suppressive effects of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) on malignant phenotype of human carcinoma cells and to evaluate its potential application in cancer gene therapy. METHODS: A man malian expression vector containing TIMP-2 cDNA was constructed and t...
