PMID- 1361881 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 19930204 LR - 20131121 IS - 0361-090X (Print) IS - 0361-090X (Linking) VI - 16 IP - 5-6 DP - 1992 TI - Tumor-specific chemoimmunotherapy of murine fibrosarcoma using tumor-specific transplantation antigen, cyclophosphamide, and interleukin-2. PG - 321-7 AB - The anti-tumor effect of active specific chemoimmunotherapy, using butanol-extracted tumor-specific transplantation antigen (TSTA), cyclophosphamide (CY), and continuous intrasplenic infusion of interleukin-2 (IS-IL-2), was assessed in a C3H/HeJ murine methylcholanthrene (MCA)-induced fibrosarcoma model. Sole administration of TSTA induced tumor-specific, suppressor T cells in the spleens of mice bearing 3-day established tumors. Concomitant low-dose (20 mg/kg) CY treatment not only inhibited TSTA-mediated suppressor cell induction, but also evoked splenic lymphocytes of tumor-bearing mice to display tumor-specific cytotoxic activity. High-dose (200 mg/kg) CY abrogated the immunotherapeutic benefit. The immune effectors generated by TSTA plus CY bear the Thy 1, L3T4, Lyt 2 phenotype. Continuous IS-IL-2 infusion in combination with TSTA and CY induced tumor-specific Lyt 2+ cytolytic T cells, as well as the activation of L3T4+ cytostatic T cells. Thus, a triple regimen using TSTA, CY, and IS-IL-2 appears to augment CTL induction in tumor-bearing hosts undergoing stimulation of helper elements by TSTA and inhibition of suppressor cells by CY.
