abstract：:The controversy surrounding the use of diphtheria toxin (DT) as a therapeutic agent against tumor cells arises mainly from its unexpected harmfulness to healthy tissues. We encoded the cytotoxic fragment A of DT (DTA) as an objective gene in the Light-On gene-expression system to construct plasmids pGAVPO (pG) and pU5...
