RADIOSENSITIVITY ENHANCERS, RADIOSENSITIVITY-ENHANCING NUCLEIC ACIDS AND PROTEINS IN CANCER RADIOTHERAPY

摘要

Using radiosensitivity enhancers containing, as the active ingredient, nucleic acids having the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:3, proteins having the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:4 etc., the radiosensitivity of malignant tumor cells is enhanced. Owing to this sensitization effect, radiotherapy is made efficacious against radio- tolerant malignant tumor or malignant tumor having lowered radiosensitivity.
