Abstract:
Bax is a strong pro-apoptotic gene that induces programmed cell death when expressed. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is the catalytic subunit for telomerase, an enzyme found to be active in more than 85% of human cancers. Recently, a binary adenoviral system (Ad/GT-Bax + Ad/hTERT-GV16) was constructed using the hTERT promoter to induce Bax gene expression in tumor cells.
