Downmodulation of El A Protein Expression as a Novel Strategy to Design Cancer-Selective Adenoviruses

Oncolytic adenoviruses are being tested as potential therapies for human malignant tumors, including gliomas. Here we report for the first time that a mutation in the E1A gene results in low levels of ElA protein, conditioning the replication of mutant adenoviruses specifically to cancer cells. In...
