Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus Promoter-Containing Retroviral Promoter Conversion Vectors for Gene-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy are Functional in Vitro and in Vivo
Gene directed-enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) is an approach for sensitization of tumor cells to an enzymatically activated, otherwise nontoxic, prodrug. Cytochrome P450 2B1 (CYP2B1) metabolizes the prodrugs cyclophosphamide (CPA) and ifosfamide (IFA) to produce the cytotoxic substances phosphoramide...
