apoptin

Apoptin is a protein that is originally isolated from the chicken anemia virus(CAV). It has been found that expressing this gene can induce apoptosis in a broad spectrum of cancer cells but not in normal cells. Hence it is a very powerful tool in treating cancer. Fusion the TAT protein with apoptin can even achieve by-stander effect, and we try to use it in the most simple device of our project. We have successfully expressed it in Hep G2 cell lines and observe a brilliant apoptosis effect.[1]
