Silencing of the TGF-β1 Gene Increases the Immunogenicity of Cells From Human Ovarian Carcinoma
13 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
Cells from many tumors produce transforming growth factor (TGF)-β which facilitates their escape from control by the immune system. We previously reported that nonimmunogenic cells from either of 2 transplantable mouse tumors became effective as therapeutic tumor vaccines after lentivirus-mediated shRNA interference to "silence" the TGF-β1 gene. We now show that cells from in vitro cultured human ovarian...
