Tumor-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/ vascular permeability factor (VPF) plays an important role in neovascularization and the development of tumor stroma. Furthermore, VEGF receptors are over-expressed in the endothelial cells of tumor vasculature and almost non-detectable in the
## Abstract ## Background Retroviral vectors are suitable for targeting endothelial cells in the tumour neovasculature because of their intrinsic selectivity for proliferating cells. Previously, we inserted regulatory elements of the endothelialβspecific preproβendothelinβ1 (ppET1) promoter in ret
