PNP-expressing ovine atadenovirus FP253
An ovine atadenovirus encoding E. Coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) with prodrug activating activity. Under the control of a prostate-directed promoter, PNP-expressing atadenovirus vaccine FP253 expresses PNP in prostate tissue only after intraprostatic administration; this enzyme catalyses systemically administered fludarabine prodrug into the active agent, 2-fluoroadenine. localised prodrug activation provides prostate-targeted chemotherapy, potentially reducing systemic side effects.
