<p>The present invention provides compositions and methods for treatment of solid tumors with gene therapy utilizing recombinant viral vectors that express polypeptides which selectively initiate irreversible coagulation of blood in the tumor vasculature, inhibit tumor neovascularization, are capable of activating a non-toxic agent into a toxic agent within the tumor vascular wall causing destruction of the vascular bed and absorb or metabolize nutrients in the blood being supplied to the tumor. The production of these polypeptides by transduced cells in or adjacent to the blood vessels of the tumor result in the death of tumor cells.</p> |
