Abstract excerpt
Using an intracranial rat C6 glioma model, we tested the hypothesis that gene modification of glioma cells to block the expression of the immunosuppressive cytokine TGF-beta (transforming growth factor beta) may enhance anti-tumor immune responses and thereby prolong survival of tumor-bearing animals. The cDNA for simian TGF-beta 2 was ligated in antisense orientation into the episomal plasmid mammalian...
