NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULE AND METHOD OF TARGETING GENE EXPRESSION TO GLIOMAS

摘要

There is presently provided a nucleic acid molecule comprising a glial-specific promoter; a coding sequence for a transgene; and a plurality of miRNA target sites. Each miRNA target site binds an miRNA that is down-regulated in .a glioma cell compared to a normal glial cell, and the glial-specific promoter and the plurality of miRNA target sites are both operably linked to the coding sequence for the transgene.
