Postoperative enhancement of the specific tumoractivated host antitumor immunity was believed can abrogate these miserable sequelae. Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine that plays an important role in the development of cellular immunity. It was known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor (NKSF) or cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor (CLMF). This cytokine is secreted by antigen-presenting cells (primarily macrophages and B cells) and appears can (1) enhance the cytolytic activity of a number of effector cells including T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells, and macrophages, (2) increase proliferation of activated NK and T cells, (3) induce production of cytokines, such as interferon-γ, (4) stimulate the induction of Th1 cells, (5) upregulate a number of cell surface molecules, (6) inhibit IgE secretion, and (7) act as a synergistic factor for hemopoietic stem cells. Using the C3H/He-MBT-2 bladder tumor model and the constructed retroviral vector carrying mil-12 cdna (pclnrx-il12) to transfect wild type MBT-2 or low TGF-β secreting MBT-2/ TGF-β (-) #3 cell line, we intended to investigate if (1) MBT-2 or MBT-2 /TGF-β (-) #3 tumor cells infected with retroviral plasmid carrying mil-12 cdna [ MBT-2 / IL-12 or MBT-2 / TGF-β(-) #3 / IL-12] may produce adequate amount of IL-12, (2) the MHC class I and II molecules expression on the cell surface of them can be upgraded, (3) after treated with lethal dose X-ray irradiation [IRMBT-2 / IL-12, IRMBT-2 / TGF- β(-) #3 / IL-12 ] remain long enough metabolic active to serve as an autologous tumor vaccine, (4) the 1
immunostimulating effect of IRMBT-2/ IL-12 and IRMBT-2/TGF- β(-) #3/IL-12 on tumor bearing mice when immunized after tumor resection.
