Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides for methods and compositions for translation of a viral vector both in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, the present invention pertains to a translational control element placed in a vector to cause a selective translation of a viral vector. In one embodiment, the present invention provides for methods and compositions for conditionally expressing a viral vector inside tumor cells, while leaving normal cells unaffected due to their inability to translate the vector
