Abstract

The gene coding for TNF-alpha was introduced into DNL of human oral squamous carcinoma by retroviral-mediated gene transduction, and experiments proved that the gene had been introduced into the DNL and the DNL could secrete TNF-alpha of high activity with PCR analysis, bioactivity analysis of TNF-alpha, selection test in G418. Cytotoxicity of gene-transduced and nontransduced DNL to Tca8113 cell was compared with MTT method. The result showed that cytotoxicity of the former was higher than that of the latter.
