The fusion gene of human beta-endorphin was cloned into the shuttle plasmid pDC312-AAVEE with the method of molecular bilology. The latter and genomic plasmids were cotransfected into HEK293 to package the Adenovirus/Adeno-associated hybrid virus containing fusion gene of human beta-endorphin. The hybrid virus was identified with the method of PCR.

Objective: To develop a novel vector system, which combines the advantages of the gene therapy, antiangiogenic therapy and virus therapy, and to observe its effect on lung cancer.

Methods: Human angiostatin gene hA(k1-5) was inserted into the genome of the replicative virus specific for the tumor cells by virus recombination technology. The expression of hA(k1-5), its effect on tumor growth in vitro and in vivo were studied.

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect and the expression level of a tumor-specific replication-competent adenovirus and a replication-defective adenovirus expression mouse recombinant IL-12 (mIL-12) gene on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vitro.

Methods: The cytotoxicity of replication-competent adenovirus with E1B-55 000 attenuated CNHK200-mIL12 and ONYX-015 (dl1520), and replication-defective adenovirus Adv-mIL12 were evaluated by MTT and replication assay in two HCC cell lines (HepG2 and Hep3B) and human normal hepatocyte line (LO2). Western blot and ELISA were used to determine the expression level of mIL-12.

Objective: To study the feasibility of adenoviral transduction of Herceptin complete antibody gene and its effect on Her2 over-expressing cancer.

Methods: The genes of VH and VL from the monoclonal antibody Herceptin were cloned into the genome of replication-defective adenovirus by viral recombination technology to produce the recombinant adenovirus Ad-SG-Her. Normal human liver cells of the line L-02 were transfected with Ad-SG-Her and ELISA was used to detect the expression of Herceptin antibody 3 and 7 days after.

Objective: To investigate the specific cytotoxity of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) transfected with chimeric T cell receptor (CTCR) on cells which express KDR.

Methods: A recombinant retroviral plasmid (pMSCVneo-Vhgamma) was constructed by cloning VEGF121-hinger-FcRgamma (Vhgamma) into retroviral vector pMSCVneo. After packaging by PT67, the virus with high titer was used to infect TIL isolated from liver cancer tissues, and then MSCVneo-Vhgamma-TIL was generated.
