ABSTRACT
Objective:
To observe inhibitory effrects of DNA vaccine co-expressing CEA tandem repeat epitopes and FL on cancer cells in mice.Methods:
The encoding sequences for CEA tandem repeats and FL were inserted into plasmid pcDNA3.0 using gene recombinant technique.BALB/c mice were immunized intramuscularly with the co-expressing DNA vaccine.The survival time and tumor size were measured and specific CTL cytotoxicity was detected by ~(125)I-UdR release method.Results:
Compared with that of the control,the survival time was prolonged (P<0.01)and the tumors were significantly inhibited in the mice immunized with the vaccine peDNA-triCEA_(625-667)-sFL(P<0.01).The splenic cells from mice immunized with the vaccine pcDNA-triCEA_(625-667)-sFL induced strongly cytotoxicity against tumor cells H22-CEA ~+(P<0.01).Conclusion:
The recombinant DNA vaccine co-expressing pcDNA-triCEA_(625-667)-sFL can suppress the growth of tumor expressing CEA in mice and enhance CTL response against CEA antigen.
