Abstract:
The AFP regulatory sequences are among the best known tumor-specific transcriptional regulators. A number of groups have demonstrated that a variety of genes can be expressed in an HCC-specific manner under the control of the AFP regulatory sequences in vitro and in vivo. It would appear that, with the development of a suitable delivery system, HCC-directed gene therapy using the AFP regulatory sequences holds a promising future.
