1 Transduction of the vector containing the CEA-regulated cytosine deaminase gene (AdCEA-CD) resulted in extraordinary sensitivity of MKN45 and MKN28 cells to 5-fluorocytosine. Flucytosine CEA cell adhesion molecule 3 Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that use of a CEA promoter in an adenovirus vector could confer selective expression of the cytosine deaminase gene in CEA-producing gastric cancer cells, rendering the transduced cells susceptible to 5 fluorocytosine. Flucytosine CEA cell adhesion molecule 3 Homo sapiens
