Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The construction of cDNA library to determine protein antigen that can induce cancer immunity by immunizing with cationic liposome was attempted, but failed to convert into episomal vector which expresses antigen highly efficiently developed for this task. In the analysis using OVA as model cDNA, it was concluded that species-specific sugar chains are necessary for CTL induction with cationic liposome. So, as a vaccine that induces tumor-selective CTL, a model in which CTL activity is induced by collapse of tumor by suicide gene therapy against MC38 colorectal cancer and 3LL lung cancer cell line was prepared and a model capable of inducing CTL against OVA cDNA was established. At this time, tumor rejection was also confirmed.
