<p>The invention is a method and composition for reducing a population of diseased cells by administration of a gene delivery vehicle capable of expressing an M-CSFα mutant having a decreased capacity to be proteolytically processed and released from a cell membrane. The invention is also a combination of therapeutic agents including gene delivery vehicles expressing M-CSFα or an M-CSFα mutant in combination, for example, either with a soluble M-CSF, an M-CSFα convertase inhibitor, or a gene delivery vehicle expressing prodrug activator such as thymidine kinase followed by administration of the prodrug.</p> |
