Background The sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) protein can mediate the active radioiodine uptake.The human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter is known to be selectively reactivated in majority of tumo...
The immune efficiency of a recombinant adenovirus type 5 with type 35 fiber containing HIV-1 gag gene (rAd5/F35-mod. gag) was investigated in BALB/c mice, in which the rAd5/F35-mod, gag was firstly identified with P...
AIM:There are conflicting data about p53 function on cellular sensitivity to the cytotoxic action of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Therefore the objective of this study was to determine the combined effects of adenovirus-med...
