Text

synovial sarcoma cells leads to reassembly of the normal complex, arrest of cell proliferation, and cell death (36). The precise amino acids that must be targeted are predicted from the sequences of SSX genes that are permissive to tumor development versus those that are not. Thus, a specific path to a cancer-specific drug has been revealed by the combination of human genetics and biochemistry.
