Methods Detect separatelythe cytotoxicity of TCS, rIFN α- 2b and their combination against digestive system cancer cell SGC- 7901.Results In the experiment in vitro, TCS, rIFN α- 2b both had direct, dose dependent cytotoxicity againstSGC - 7901. Their combined use demonstrated a toxicity signijicantly higher than that of the two drugs used alone,showing a signilicant synergic effect. This synergic cytotoxicity was confirmed in the animal experiment.Conclusion Combined use of TCS and rIFN α - 2b decreases the therapeutic dose of TCS and its toxic adverseellect, and this synergic effect is favorable to the clinical use of TCS protein against gastric cancer.展开更多
