Enhancer sequences of the DF3 gene regulate expression of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene and confer sensitivity of human breast cancer cells to ganciclovir

A potentially novel therapeutic strategy for breast cancer treatment involves sensitization of tumor cells to chemotherapy through gene transfer. Clinical application of this approach, however, may be limited by the lack of target cell specificity of currently available gene delivery techniques. Dev...
