The present invention provides a method of enhancing the chemosensitivity and radiosensitivity of a neoplastic cell expressing an oncoprotein that stimulates proliferation of the cell, comprising introducing into the cell a nucleic acid molecule encoding an antibody homologue, wherein the antibody homologue is expressed intracellularly and binds to the oncoprotein intracellularly in the endoplasmic reticulum of the cell. The present invention is also directed to a method for enhancing the inhibition of proliferation of a neoplastic cell expressing an oncoprotein that stimulates proliferation of the cell, comprising the steps of: introducing into the cell a nucleic acid molecule encoding an antibody homologue, wherein the antibody homologue is expressed intracellularly and binds to the protein intracellularly; and contacting said cell with an anti-neoplastic agent.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a new approach for cancer treatment by utilizing gene therapy combined with radiation therapy to enhance cytotoxicity in malignant cells. Specifically, the present invention demonstrates that molecular chemotherapy with the cytosine deaminase gene and 5-fluorocytosine is an effective radiosensitizing strategy which may lead to substantial improvement in tumor control, with less normal tissue toxicity than conventional systemic administration of 5-fluorouracil, that would translate into improved cure rates and better survival. Also provided is a noninvasive method for continuous in vivo monitoring of 5-fluorouracil production via magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

An antibody of the invention interacts with human DR5 or with human DR4 to produce agonistic or antagonistic effects downstream of the receptor including inhibition of cell proliferation and apoptosis. Methods and uses for the antibodies, optionally in combination with various therapeutic agents, are detailed, including treatment of apoptosis-related disease and treatment of dysregulated cell growth.

An antibody of the invention interacts with human DR5 or with human DR4 to produce agonistic or antagonistic effects downstream of the receptor including inhibition of cell proliferation and apoptosis. Nucleic acid sequences and amino acid sequences of DR5 and DR4 antibodies have been elucidated and vectors and cells containing and expressing these sequences have been generated. Methods and uses for the antibodies are detailed including treatment of apoptosis-related disease and treatment of dysregulated cell growth.
