ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the specific expression of heterologous sequences, particularly genes encoding cytotoxic products, in tumor cells under the control of regulatory transcriptional sequences. Particularly preferred promoters include H19 regulatory sequences, the IGF-1 promoter and the IGF-2 P3 and P4 promoters. The invention provides expression constructs and methods of administering such expression constructs. The compositions and methods of the invention are useful in the treatment of cancer.
