abstract：:The use of viral thymidine kinase (TK) gene coupled with the administration of ganciclovir to render cancer cell death has been studied extensively. Many of these experiments utilized retrovirus to transfer the TK gene under the control of a nonspecific promoter. Because nonspecific expression of the viral TK gene may...
