Abstract

Suicide gene therapy with FCY1gene, encoding cytosine deaminase (CD), together with FUR1, encoding uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT), has been proposed for pancreatic cancer therapy in vivo. We ascertained whether gene therapy with FCY1-FUR1is effective in killing pancreatic cancer cells after 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) treatment.
