Antitumor effect of locally injected low doses of recombinant human interleukin-2 in bovine vulval papilloma and carcinoma (original) (raw)

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1994

Abstract

In many human clinical trials and in various animal tumor models, the antitumor effect of high doses of systemically applied interleukin-2 (IL-2) is tested. Our studies focused on the effects of low doses of locally injected IL-2. In this paper, the effect of local injection of low doses of IL-2, i.e. a total dose of 25,000-50,000 units, into papillomas or carcinomas of the bovine vulva is described. In 19 out of 23 (83%) cows treated with IL-2 an effect on the tumor load was observed; in three of these animals, complete regression was obtained. In the majority of cases, regression was not restricted to the tumors injected with IL-2.
