Improved retroviral suicide gene transfer in colon cancer cell lines after cell synchronization with methotrexate

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cancer gene therapy by retroviral vectors is mainly limited by the level of transduction. Retroviral gene transfer requires target cell division. Cell synchronization, obtained by drugs inducing a reversible inhibition of DNA synthes...
