  One way that that's done
  已经成功应用的一种方法是
• 
  
  is by introducing genes into cancer cells,
  将基因导入癌细胞
• 
  
  genes that aren't normally expressed in any mammalian cell,
  而这种基因通常不在哺乳动物细胞中表达
• 
  
  but that will cause the cancer cell to die.
  但是可以导致癌细胞的死亡
• 
  
  This example here,
  这里的这个例子思路是
• 
  
  the idea is to introduce a gene into tumor cells of a tumor.
  将一个基因导入肿瘤组织的肿瘤细胞中
• 
  
  It's a gene that allows you to deliver a drug that's not active
  这一方法利用该基因激活
• 
  
  but the gene causes that active - that inactive drug
  另一种已经导入细胞的非活性药物
• 
  
  to be converted into an active form that kills the cell.
  来杀死肿瘤细胞
• 
  
  This is called a suicide gene.
  所以这种基因也叫自杀基因
• 
  
  Basically,
  概括来说
• 
  
  you're introducing this gene into cells that
  当你把这个自杀基因导入
