Human thiopurine S-methyltransferase pharmacogenetics: variant allozyme misfolding and aggresome formation.

abstract：:Adenovirus (Ad) vectors have been extensively used to deliver recombinant genes to a great variety of cell types in vitro and in vivo. Ad-based vectors are available that replace the Ad early region 1 (E1) with recombinant foreign genes. The resultant E1-deleted vectors can then be propagated on 293 cells, a human emb...
