Research Abstract

Basic research using tumor-bearing mice via irradiation with immunostimulant agents was conducted. CD4+ cells, CD8+ cells and NK/NKT cells were identified as candicates of effector cells.
To consistent induction of abscopal effects, various combinations of irradiation of 6 Gy (6MeV-electron beam) with intravenous infusion of chemokine ECI301 after implantation of different tumor cells into bilateral flanks of BALB/c mice were conducted. We observed significant abscopal effects in several settings.
