<Abstract>In vitro proliferation and in vivo tumorigenicity of IL-2 and/or IL-3 gene transfected FBL-3erythroleukemia cells were observed to investigate the anti-tumor effect of tumor vaccine. Methods: Leukemiacells were trans fected with IL-2 and/or IL-3 adenovlrus vector. The cytokine expressions were assayed, and the growth characteristics of the transfected FBL-3 cells were studied. Results: High levels of secreted IL-2 and IL-3remained for one week after transfection, and the trans fected leukemia cells became unchanged in growth in vitro and showed weak tumorigenicity in vlvo. The tumorigenicity of FBL-3 cells decreased more significantly when FBL-3 cells were transfected with both IL-2 gene and IL-3 gene than when FBL-3 cells were tran fected with IL-2or IL-3 gene only. The tumor growth was significantly delayed and survival time of the trans fected FBL-3 inoculat ed mice was significantly prolonged. Conclusion: The inhibition of tumor growth is most likely dependent on immune response induced by
