Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic vaccination by expression plasmids that encode mutant p53 was conducted to characterize exogenously induced anti-tumoral immunity in mice. METHODS: Gene transfer was evaluated by reporter gene expression assays. The efficacy of genetic immunization was addressed by analysis of solid tumor outgrowth and the formation of metastases. Cell mediated immunity was determined by (51)Cr-release...
