  • Title: IFNγ in combination with IL-7 enhances immunotherapy in two rat glioma models.
    Author: Fritzell S, Eberstål S, Sandén E, Visse E, Darabi A, Siesjö P.
    Journal: J Neuroimmunol; 2013 May 15; 258(1-2):91-5. PubMed ID: 23528658.
    Abstract:
    Peripheral immunization, using a combination of interferon-gamma (IFNγ)- and interleukin-7 (IL-7)-producing tumor cells, eradicated 75% of pre-established intracerebral N32 rat glioma tumors, and prolonged survival in the more aggressive RG2 model. Rats immunized with IFNγ- and IL7-transduced N32 cells displayed increases in IFNγ plasma levels and proliferating circulating T cells when compared with rats immunized with N32-wild type cells. Following irradiation, the expression of MHC I and II was high on N32-IFNγ cells, but low on RG2-IFNγ cells. In conclusion, IFNγ and IL-7 immunizations prolong survival in two rat glioma models.
