| additional information | sensitivity of cells to 5-FU can be further increased by expression of UPRT, useful in an approach for the management of graft-versus-host disease occurring after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation by genetical engineering of donor T lymphocytes to express a suicide gene, i.e. the Herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase HSV-tk gene, to facilitate negative selection, combination of UPRT expression with expression of cytosine deaminase, an alternative gene for negative selection, converting 5-fluorocytosine to the toxic metabolite 5-fluorouracil, a construct NG/CDiU expressing UPRT and NG/CD, using a bicistronic message, provides the greatest UPRT activity and killing, overview | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
