C57BL/6 mice were inoculated s.c. with 1×105 B16F10 melanoma cells and received s.c. administration with VMO prepared with GMCSF gene encoded vaccinia virus(GMCSFVMO), VMO prepared with thymidine kinase genedeficient vaccinia virus(TKVMO), B16F10 melanoma oncolysate(BMO), or PBS 3 days after tumor inoculation. The same treatment was bolstered one week later. The results demonstrated that GMCSFVMO treatment significantly inhibited the growth of subcutaneous tumor and prolonged the survival period of tumorbearing mice. Further study elucidated that cytotoxicity of PBL and splenocytes towards B16F10 increased obviously after treatment with GMCSFVMO, but NK activity remained unchanged. These results suggest that the tumor oncolysate vaccine prepared with GMCSF geneencoded vaccinia virus might exert potent therapeutic effect on the preestablished tumor through the efficient induction of specific antitumor immune response of the host.展开更多
