Abstract
Systemic administration of cytokines has not found broad application in cancer immunotherapy due to its toxicity and lack of effectiveness in a broad spectrum of tumors. Among the most promising cytokines used often in pre-clinical and clinical trials are interferon alpha and interleukin 12. We have shown in our study that combining IL-12 with IFN-α in a dose which alone does not show antitumor activity results in potentiated antitumor effects without inducing toxicity.
