Converting Tumor-specific Markers Into Reporters of Oncolytic Virus Infection
Molecular Therapy, 2009 Preferential killing of transformed cells, while keeping normal cells and organs unharmed, is the main goal of cancer gene therapy. Genetically engineered trackable markers and imaging reporters enable noninvasive monitoring of transduction efficiency and pharmacokinetics of anticancer virotherapeutics.
