Paper Abstract
The overall objective of the research is to investigate the utility of photochemical
internalization for the enhanced nonviral transfection of genes into cells. We have examined,
in detail, the evaluation of photochemical internalization (PCI) as a method for the non-viral
introduction of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN and the PCI mediated transfection of the
cytosine deaminase (CD) pro drug activating gene into glioma cell monolayers and multi-cell
tumor spheroids. Expression of the CD gene within the target cell produces an enzyme that
converts the nontoxic prodrug, 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), to the toxic metabolite, 5-fluorouracil
(5-FU).
