We have examined the anti-tumor effect in nude mice caused by human pancreatic cancer cells (AsPC-1) modified to secrete IL-2 or IL-4. Loss of tumorigenicity of cytokineproducing, but not wild-type, cells was observed despite their unaltered in vitro proliferation rates; and these anti-tumor effects
