OBJECTIVE
To study the effection of suppression murine melanoma growth by Intratumor injection of recombinant attenuated salmonella carrying heat shock protein 70 and herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase genes.
METHODS
Plasmids PCMV-mtHSP70-IRES-TK were electro-transferred into salmonella typhimurium SL7207 to construct recombinant salmonella typhimurium. In vivo, Recombinant bacteria were injected into the mouse melanoma and the antitumor effection was observed. The survival period was recorded and safety analysis for this vaccine in each group.
RESULTS
In vivo, the mtHSP70/HSV-tk recombinant bacteria can suppress tumor growth significantly and extend survival. After recombinant Salmonella, 10(9) CFU/mL, was administered as an intratumoral injection, No diarrhea were observed. During therapy, body weight did not change markedly.
CONCLUSIONS
Results of the animal experiment suggests intratumor injection of recombinant attenuated salmonella typhimurium containing mtHSP70 and HSV-tk genes, has targeting ability against B16 tumor cell and could significantly inhibit tumor growth .
