Apoptin represents a new anti-cancer tool in such new approaches with great potentials. Two routes can be taken using Apoptin or its encoding cDNA, i.e. as protein therapy or gene therapy. A research article to be published on 21 June 2008, in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question.

Cancer cells transfected with this construct would express the recombinant Apoptin and...
