Unrepairable DNA Double Strand Breaks Initiate Cytotoxicity with HSV-TK/Ganciclovir
The herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) is the most widely used suicide gene in cancer gene therapy due to its superior anticancer activity with ganciclovir compared to other HSV-TK substrates, such as 1-β-D-arabinofuranosyl thymine (araT). We have evaluated the role of DNA damage as a me...
