Novel Tumour-Specific Apoptosis-Inducing Peptide Derivatives of Apoptin
| Division: | Biotechnologie | | Catégorie: | Sénior | | Région: | Manitoba Schools Science Symposium | | Ville: | Winnipeg, MB | | École: | Fort Richmond Collegiate | | Sommaire: | The objective of this project was to design small cell-penetrating peptide molecules, based on the amino acid sequence of the viral protein apoptin, that possess the ability to induce tumour-specific apoptosis. Sequences from amino acids 76-91, 82-110, and 77-121 of apoptin were found to independently induce tumour-specific apoptosis in human leukemia, lung, prostate, and breast cancer cells, when conjugated to a poly-arginine cell penetrating peptide. |
