| Research Abstract |
Due to their unique property to cross the blood-brain barier and to migrate to pathological lesions, endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) is expected as a new therapeutic tool for malignant glioma. EPCs were genetically modified by using tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in the first aproach. On the other hand, the surface of EPC was modified by using avidin-niotin system and TRAIL protein. Modified EPCs were proved to be effective to induce the apoptosis of malignant glioma cells.
