Suicide Ribozyme?
'We have designed a novel suicide ribozyme that will allow a gene of interest (such as a toxin gene) to be expressed specifically in the HER-2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer cells, and therefore, will kill only the HER-2/neu-overexpressing cells."

Oooh, interesting. If it weren't 3am, I'd go read the paper. (I actually recently did a project for my biomolecular engineering class that dealt with targeting HER-1/EGFR/ErbB-1/whydoesitneedsomanynames in lung cancer.)
ReplyDeleteOh, but then I'd remember that I'm not at college anymore and thus don't have access to university subscriptions. Silly me... T_T
