Scientists Develop Method to Track Immune System Enzyme in Live Animals

... The enzyme, known as activation-induced cytidine deaminase or AID (which has no relation to the AIDS virus), is expressed by B cells, which are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for making antibodies that attack foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria. The enzyme enables the cells to resp...

The gene can convert a less toxic drug, 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), used in chemotherapy, to 5-FU inside the stem cells, and the chemotherapy can then seep out into the tumour, producing a lethal by-stander effect. Researchers first...
