Transgene expression of α tumor necrosis factor with mutations D142N and A144R under control of human telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter eradicates well-established tumors and induces long-term antitumor immunity
Abstract:Recombinant adenoviral vectors (AdVTNF-a) expressing a tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a) under control of cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter have been used in cancer gene therapy. To reduce its cytotoxicity, we constructed a recombinant AdV TERT mTNF-a expressing a mutant TNF-a (mTNF-a) with mutations at D142N and A144R under control of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter for treatment of well-established ovalbumin (OVA)-expressing murine B16 melanoma (BL6-10 OVA ) (6 mm in diameter). We demonstrat… Show more
