The influence of recombinant human alpha 2-interferon (alpha 2-IFN) therapy on various aspects of the immune system was studied in 18 patients with disseminated colorectal cancer. The IFN was given as continuous (20 X 10(6) units/m2 three times weekly) or intermittent (50 X 10(6) units/m2 daily for

Preclinical data suggest synergy of interleukin-2 (IL-2) combined with alphainterferon (IFN). In addition, toxicities of IL-2 may be decreased by intermittent continuous infusion. The purpose of this trial was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of recombinant IL-2 combined with alpha-IFN
We studied the effect of combined chemo-immunotherapy, 5-FU followed by thymosin al (Toll) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) at low doses, on liver metastases from colorectal cancer, induced by splenic injection of DHD/KIZ cells (I ,2-dimethylhydrazineinduced colon adenocarcinoma) in syngeneic BDIX rats. The
Natural killer (NK) cells and NK cell activity were determined in three groups (newly diagnosed [n = 211, on therapy [n = 211, and off therapy [n = 181) of children with various types of malignant solid tumors and in a control group (n = 26) by means of Leu-7 and Leu-llb monoclonal antibodies and a
