Disease relevance of UL39

 

High impact information on UL39

  • AFP-alb/UL39 transfection increased G207 cytotoxicity 93% in Hep3B (P < 0.0005), with no significant increase in PLC5 [5].
  • This mutant virus, designated RR1CAT/RR2lacZ, was engineered so that coding sequences of the genes UL39 and UL40 specifying the subunits of the viral ribonucleotide reductase were replaced by the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) and the lacZ gene coding sequences, respectively [6].
  • Herpes simplex virus type 1 ribonucleotide reductase large subunit: regions of the protein essential for subunit interaction and dimerization [7].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of UL39

  • Combining CEA E-P/UL39 with G207 in LS174T flank tumors resulted in a 65% decrease in tumor volume versus G207, phosphate-buffered saline, or'CEA E-P/UL39 alone ( P <.0001) [8].
