Rat Response

  • Host Strain: Fisher 344
  • Vaccination Protocol: A study was conducted to examine the growth inhibition of LN-4 tumors in vivo with an intratumoral (i.t.) injection of AdV-H-2Kb adenovirus. Fisher 344 rats were injected s.c. in their right thighs with 0.5x10^6 LN-4 tumor cells. At 2 weeks after tumor inoculation, when tumors grew to ;3–4 mm in diameter, rats were injected i.t. with a single dose of 2.5x10^9 PFU of the AdV-H2Kb virus. The i.t. injection of the AdV-H-2Kb virus was given two more times at 5-day intervals for a total of three injections. As a control, rats were injected i.t. with a single dose of 2.5x10^9 PFU of the AdV5LacZ adenovirus (Campbell et al., 2000).
  • Efficacy: The expression of xenogeneic MHC class I antigen completely abolished the LN-4 tumorigenicity in rats, whereas the expression of allogeneic MHC class I antigen only partially reduced the MCA-26 tumorigenicity in mice. The immunized rats that experienced LN-4/H-2Kb tumor regression further developed protective immunity against a subsequent challenge of LN-4 cells. Adenovirus-mediated H-2Kb gene transfer in vivo can further significantly inhibit pre-established LN-4 tumors (Campbell et al., 2000).

Rat Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
  • Efficacy: Only two of the 10 animals immunized against human PSMA developed tumors. In contrast, 17 of the 20 animals in the control groups developed tumors. The tumors, developing in the group, immunized with the human construct, were smaller than the ones in the control group (Mincheff et al., 2006).

Rat Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
  • Efficacy: Only five of the 10 animals immunized against the rat analogue developed tumors. In contrast, 17 of the 20 animals in the control groups developed tumors. The tumors developing in the group immunized with the rat construct were smaller than the ones in the control group (Mincheff et al., 2006).
