BackgroundMany experiments have proved that human-bodies' immune system can identify and clear tumor cells.Cell-mediated immunity is the most important anti-tumor immune effect.Especially,specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL)'s killing activity is critical among anti-tumor immune effects of human-body.At present,it is well known that dendritic cells(DC) have the most strong antigen-presenting function in vivo among antigen-presenting cells.Nevertheless,because of low immunogenicity of tumor and immune tolerance of human-body to tumor,tumor immunotherapy is limited.Studies have discovered that tumor microenvironment stay on an immune inhibitory state,and there have a complicated regulating network of cell immunity.In tumor patients' body,DC is devitalized,this can be proved by quantity's decreasing, phaenotype and function's defection of DC.Because DC's function defected,DC can't present tumor antigen effectively in immune reaction,that's why tumor patients' immune system can't identify and kill tumor cells.Therefore,it will be helpful to induce CTLs' killing activity by immunotherapy,breaking immune tolerance and improving immune inhibition of tumor microenvironment. PurposeUsing heteragenetic antigen to cure tumor through immuning generally and injecting intratumorally.We inlet anti-heteragenetic antigen immune response and secondary immune response in tumor region.Through computing index of spleen and index of thymus,measuring the killing rate of splenic lymphocytes against S180 cells and analysising the chang of quantity of spleen' CD4~+T and CD8~+T lymphocytes to fath the immune function state of mice of different treated groups.Furthermore,from the point of splenic immunologic cell,we can authenticate this method's usage, research for its principle.Method1.Using two heteragenetic antigen,inactivated streptococcus and blood group antigen to study.2.Grouping of experiment animals:4 groups are included in the inactivated streptococcus experiment:A.group of generally immuning and intratumorally injecting with inactivated streptococcus.B.group of generally immuning with inactivated streptococcus.C.group of intratumorally injecting with inactivated streptococcus.D.group of blank.4 groups are included in the experiment of blood group antigen:a.group of generally immuning and intratumorally injecting with blood group antigen,b.group of generally immuning with blood group antigen.c. group of intratumorally injecting with blood group antigen,d.group of blank.A total of 8 groups are required.As the group of blank can be shared by D and d,the two experiments can be divided into 7 groups,and the experiment required 42 Kunming mice in total.3.Modeling:The first two weeks the mice was generally immuned for 4 times,twice per week(each of the mice of group A and B was peritoneally injected with 0.1ml of inactivated streptococcus of 0.1g/ml;each of the mice of group a and b was peritoneally injected with 0.1ml of blood group antigen of 5mg/ml;each of the mice of groupC,D,c and d was peritoneally injected with 0.1ml of physiological saline). Each of the mice was subcutaneous inoculated with S180 cell of 1×10~7/ml on the back.About two weeks,the cells grew into a tumor with a size of about 1cm~3. Hetergeneic antigen was intratumorally injected into the tumor in the following 5 days(each of the mice of group A and C was intratumorally injected with 0.1ml of inactivated streptococcus of 0.1g/ml;each of the mice of group a and c was intratumorally injected with 0.1ml of blood group antigen of 5mg/ml;each of the mice of group B,D,b and d was intratumorally injected with 0.1ml of physiological saline).Five days later,the mice are put to death after the intratumorally injecting.4.Take out the spleen and thymus,then calculate the index of the spleen and thymus.5.Examination of the killing activity of spleenic lymphocytes against S180 cells: ratio of efficacy to target(E/T)= 20:1,using MTT to compute the killing activity in vitro of lymphocytes against S180 cells of groups treated by different methods.6.Analyze the change of the counts of CD4~+T and CD8~+T lymphocytes of spleen tissue by immunohistochemistry:Take the tissue immediately after the spleen was taken out.Conventional fixed,paraffin-embedded,sliced,using PAP immunohistochemistry method to dye.The Biopsy of each group samples was observed under the high power microscope and record the number of the cell of CD4 and CD8 positive.7.Statistical methods:All the results of data are expressed by((?)±s).SPSS 13.0 statistical analysis software is used to deal with the variance analysis of factorial design data of the four groups of every experiment.If there is reciprocation,fix one factor and use t test to compare the two levels of another factor.At last,use one-way ANOVA to find the best group.Between the two experiments,t-test is used to comparise averages of two seperate samples.Significant level:a=0.05.Result1.inactivated streptococcus experiment(1) Thymus indexs(mg/g) of the
