COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR SENSITIZING AND INHIBITING GROWTH OF HUMAN TUMOR CELLS |
摘要 |
Polynucleotides encoding a carboxylesterase enzyme and polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides which are capable of metabolizing a chemotherapeutic prodrug and inactive metabolites thereof to active drug are provided. Compositions and methods for sensitizing tumor cells to a prodrug chemotherapeutic agent and inhibiting tumor growth with this enzyme are also provided. In addition, screening assay for identification of drugs activated by this enzyme are described.
