The construction and application of the adenovirus vector coexpressing the bioactlve heterodimers of human IL-12

摘要

Interleukin-12, a heterodimer produced mainlyby antigen presenting cells (APCs), plays vital rolesin the induction of Thl-mediated immune responsesand has the potential to treat cancer and infectiousdiseases. Systemic administration of IL-12 wasobserved to be associated with severe toxicity. To takefull advantage of its immunoregulatory activities andminimize its toxicities, local administration of IL-12may be the ideal approach. Intratumoral injection
