The anti-tumor activity of partially purified tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was analysed in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs against intradermally transplanted Meth A sarcoma. Tumors were allowed to grow until they reached an average diameter of about 8 mm. TNF was given once i.v. (16,000 units

We explored the potential therapeutic benefit of introducing GM-CSF, IFN-β₯ or a combination of both factors into CT26 tumor cells. CT26 cells secreting either GM-CSF or IFN-β₯ exhibited delayed tumorigenicity; however, cells expressing both GM-CSF and IFN-β₯ did not form tumors. Even when wild type CT
