Immunochemotherapy against colon cancer by gene transfer of interleukin-12 in combination with oxaliplatin

Oncoimmunology. 2012 Jan 1;1(1):97-99. doi: 10.4161/onci.1.1.17930.

Abstract

Using a murine model of liver metastases, we found that oxaliplatin can enhance the immunostimulatory effect of interleukin-12 delivered by an adenoviral vector. A shift toward a favorable immune microenvironment was observed in tumors, with a relative increase in CD8+ T cells vs. T regulatory and myeloid-derived suppressor cells.
