Lack of correlation between rejection of tumor cells co-expresssing interleukin-2 and B7.1 and vaccine efficiency

Gene modification of tumor cells to express a varietyof cytokines such as IL-2 or the co-stimulatory moleculeB7. 1 led to increased immunogenicity and reducedtumorigenicity of tumors has several models and thisprocess involves T cells. We have previously reporteddecreased tumorigenicity of the murine plasmacytomaJ558L (MHC class Ⅰ^+ and class Ⅱ^-) expressing IL-2 orB7. l. When systemic immunity was analyzed,
