Thymic humoral factor-gamma 2 augments immune cell response and exerts antitumor activity in murine model systems.

Abstract:

:The immunomodulatory and antimetastatic/antitumor activity of thymic humoral factor-gamma 2 (THF-gamma 2) was evaluated in BALB/c-mice. Daily subcutaneous applications (7 consecutive days, 20, 200 ng of THF-gamma 2 per injection/mouse) upregulated counts of thymocytes and peripheral blood cells in tumor bearing mice. To check the influence of THF-gamma 2 treatment on the growth of experimental metastases, RAW 117 H10 lymphosarcoma cells or L-1 sarcoma cells were intravenously inoculated into BALB/c-mice to establish liver or lung metastases, respectively. Local tumor growth was induced by subcutaneous injection of L-1 sarcoma cells. THF-gamma 2 was subcutaneously administered daily for 7 consecutive days starting 24 hrs after tumor cell challenge. Organ colonization as well as local tumor growth were investigated on day 14 after tumor cell inoculation and demonstrated a statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduction of experimental liver and lung metastases and local tumor growth for THF-gamma 2 treated mice.
