abstract：:RNAi represents a powerful technology to specifically downregulate the expression of target genes. For cancer research and therapy, an efficient in vivo delivery system is supposed to distribute RNAi to all tumour cells upon systemic administration. We present replication-competent murine leukaemia virus (MLV) vectors...

abstract：:Most neoplasms do not induce antitumor immune responses that can control tumor growth. Tumor associated antigens (TAAs) are insufficiently immunogenic. A vaccine that augments the immunogenic properties of TAAs could be of importance in the treatment of cancer patients. In an animal model, we prepared a vaccine by tra...
