ABSTRACT
Leukoregulin is an immunologic hormone whose anticancer action includethe inhibition of cellular proliferation and cytolysis of tumor cells eitherdirectly or indirectly by enhancing the tumor cell's susceptibility to dest-ruction mediated by natural killer cells.The optimal condition for the ind-uction of leukoregulin Were studied by using orthogonal experimental design.The optimal concentration is 1x10~7/ml for human spleen cells;3.1?g/mlfor phytohemagglutinin(PHA);12.5ng/ml for 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate;15% for boyin serum.Leukoregulin activity prepared by 70 hincubation is maximum,the experiment also confirmed that the inducingleukoregulin effect of PHA-PⅢis significantly high.
ABSTRACT
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine which has antitumor activity. In the present study, a model for fibroblasts-mediated IL-6 gene therapy and its immune regulation are described. Human IL-6 cDNA was inserted into plasmid vector BCMGNeo containing a neomycin resistance gene. BCMGNeo-IL-6 was transferred into NIH3T3 fibroblasts by calcium phosphate coprecipitation method. A fibroblast clone (T6.6) secreting 1L-6 at highest level was selected by G418 resistance selection and limiting dilution. When T6.6 was implanted i.p. into mice, IL-6 could be detected in serum after 12 h. Even after 96 h, serum IL-6 still maintained at high level. Lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production could be enhanced significantly after in vivo implantation of T6.6. These results demonstrate that fibroblasts -mediated IL-6 gene therapy could augment immune function efficiently and outline a novel strategy for cancer treatment.
ABSTRACT
In this study, 5'-CMP was sulfonated, and then the modified 5'-CMP was connected to a protein carrier as an immunogen to immunize BALB/c mice. After cell hybridization, screening and recloning , a McAb (B10) with high sensitivity and specificity was selected. In a dot Hot using the McAb B10, less than 0.05 pg of sulfonated DNA could be detected while 10 ng of DNA was not coloured The result showed that the sensitivity of McAb B10 was higher than that of the McAb from "Chemiprobe" kit
ABSTRACT
The effects of pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and esculentoside (Es) in inducing immune interferon (IFN-?) from normal traumatic spleen and patient's spleen cells were studied.The interferon induced was proved to be human immune interferon (HUIFN-?) by determination of its sensitivity to pH 2 and unstabitity at 56℃ as well as neutraliztion by monoclonal antibody to HUIFN-?.The average titres of IFN-?,induced with PWM or Es,from the sphen cells of 10 traumatic pesons were 3.40?0.59 and 2.92?0.42 Log10 CPI50 U/ml respectively,and those from the spleen cells of 8 patients were 3.69?0.35 and 3.01?0.35 LogloCPI50 U/ml respectively.The effec of Es in inducing IFN-Y from either traumatic or patient's spleen cells was lower than that of PWM (P
