Ad‐VT (Ad‐Apoptin‐hTERTp‐E1A) includes a tumour‐specific promoter (hTERTp, human telomerase reverse transcriptase) and the promoters of the E1A gene (necessary for viral replication), cytomegalovirus (CMV) and promoters that can activate the apoptin gene (Apoptin). This evidence concerns the gene DHTKD1 and neoplasm.
