摘要: The term ‘gene therapy’ applies to all approaches involving the introduction of genetic material into a patient’s cells produce therapeutic protein or inhibit gene function. This therapy is possible because viruses, bacteria, plants and mammals share same interchangeable code. Gene currently being employed in an attempt cure ameliorate growth various malignancies.1,2 potential experimental therapies used for treating cancer may (1) transfer ‘suicide genes’ whose products converts non-toxic precursor toxic molecule that kills (2) regulate oncogenes (3) tumour suppressor genes, such as p53 (4) promote reinforce immunological response (5) proteins necessary promoting metastases (6) angiogenesis (7) drug resistance genes bonemarrow protection from high-dose chemotherapy. area its infancy most have yet pass even preliminary clinical tests demonstrating their overall safety efficacy. Common issues are applied diseases involves transfer, regulation, vector efficiency safety.
