Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a gene construct encoding a cell targeting moiety and a heterologous prodrug activating enzyme for use as a medicament in a mammalian host wherein the gene construct is capable of expressing the cell targeting moiety and enzyme as a conjugate within a target cell in the mammalian host and wherein the conjugate is directed to leave the cell thereafter for selective localisation at a cell surface antigen recognised by the cell targeting moiety.
