  • Immunology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Molecular biology advances enable identification of disease-causing genes.
  • Gene therapy aims to treat diseases by correcting or replacing faulty genes.
  • Gene therapy shows potential for treating acquired disorders like cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore gene therapy as a treatment for human diseases.
  • To investigate the introduction of allogeneic major histocompatibility complex genes into cancer cells.
  • To enhance the host's immune response against cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized recombinant DNA and polymerase chain reaction technologies for gene identification.
  • Optimized various gene delivery strategies for DNA introduction into human tumor cells.
