medicine | protection against tumors by immunization with AdaGT-transduced tumor cells (replication deficient adenovirus containing the alpha1,3GT gene) is studied in alpha1,3GT knockout (KO) mice, challenged with the highly tumorigenic BL6 melanoma cells. These mice lack alpha-gal epitopes and can produce anti-Gal. Immunization of KO mice with AdaGT-transduced BL6 cells protects many of the mice against challenge with live BL6 cells lacking alpha-gal epitopes. Immunization with AdalphaGT transduced autologous tumor cells may serve as adjuvant immunotherapy delivered after completion of standard therapy | Mus musculus |
