Background and Objectives: Development of the system to express a suicide gene selectively in tumor cells is essential for gene therapy. We constructed a plasmid containing the diphtheria toxin A (DTA) fragment linked to human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) promoter and enhancer, and tested whether it can

The human surface antigen CD24 is over-expressed in small-cell lung cancer. Here we describe the isolation, sequencing and functional characterization of the 5Ј-flanking region of the human CD24 gene. A sequence (accession number: Y14692) of 3.4 kb regulates the activity of a luciferase reporter gen
## Abstract In __Drosophila__, __Black cells__ (__Bc__) encodes a Prophenoloxidase and is expressed late in the maturation of crystal cells, which are blood cells involved in wound healing and immune encapsulation. Enhancer analysis of __Bc__ revealed a 1,025‐bp upstream sequence that regulates gen
The GAS1 gene product induces growth arrest through a p53-dependent mechanism. To investigate whether GAS1 is a tumor suppressor gene, we transfected GAS1-negative human tumor cells with GAS1 plasmids and analyzed growth characteristics of stable transfectants. When a constitutively expressing GAS1
