In vivo intratumoral gene transfer of allogeneic class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes augments the immune response against weak tumor antigens. In this study, mice inoculated with the allogeneic MHC molecule (H-2Kb), had transduced-murine neuroblastoma C1300S3 cells showed prolonged survival relative to non-transduced or neo transduced tumors (p < 0.005). Interestingly, direct in vivo gene transfer of H-2Kb plasmid DNA complexed with HVJ-liposomes into S3 tumors was highly efficient, resulting in transduction of 8% of the interstitial cells within the tumor but rarely within tumor cells. Regression of established tumors and prolonged survival occurred in 50% of mice injected with H-2Kb, in contrast to no tumor regression in mice receiving control plasmid (p < 0.005). This study concludes that interstitial cells could serve as an important target of intratumoral gene transfer, and further that HVJ-liposome complexes could be a vehicle for in vivo gene transfer.

D008081 Liposomes Artificial, single or multilaminar vesicles (made from lecithins or other lipids) that are used for the delivery of a variety of biological molecules or molecular complexes to cells, for example, drug delivery and gene transfer. They are also used to study membranes and membrane proteins.

D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D005805 Genes, MHC Class I Genetic loci in the vertebrate major histocompatibility complex which encode polymorphic characteristics not related to immune responsiveness or complement activity, e.g., B loci (chicken), DLA (dog), GPLA (guinea pig), H-2 (mouse), RT-1 (rat), HLA-A, -B, and -C class I genes of man.
