Abstract

We evaluated the efficiency of recombinant vaccinia virus expressing interleukin-2 (rvv-IL-2) as a tumor vaccine in an immunocompetent mouse model of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC VII/SF). Mice with five-day-old tumors in the floor of the mouth were treated with rvv-IL-2 by intratumoral injections. These treated mice survived longer (P <.03) than mice treated with control vaccines. Splenocytes, bone marrow, and lymph node cells from tumor-bearing mice responded poorly to concanavalin A stimulation, suggesting induction of immunosuppression. The rvv-IL-2 virus grew for 7 days in the tumor following intratumoral injection. We did not detect any virus particles in several normal organs following rvv-IL-2 injection. Comparison of expression levels of several potential immune inhibitory mediators between the tumors growing in mice and cultured tumor cells demonstrated higher expression of IL-10, GM-CSF, TGF-beta, and NO synthetase in tumors. These results suggested possible roles for these molecules in immunosuppression. We conclude that rvv-IL-2 has potential as a therapeutic vaccine for head and neck cancer and that it can be more effective provided the immunosuppression is reversed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
