Abstract: AIM: Construction of MAGE-1(161-169) DNA vaccine and evaluated its anti-melanoma effects in mouse.METHODS: A DNA vaccine pcDNA3.1-HSP70-MAGE-1(161-169) has been constructed and used to immunize mice 3 times at 2-weekly intervals.Two weeks after the last immunization, tumor challenge experiments were performed by using B16F10 melanoma cell.After 14 d of challenge experiments, all mice were sacrificed and tumors were weighted.The specific anti-MAGE-1 IgG antibodies and the IFN-γreleased by mouse primary splenocytes were detected by ELISA methods.RESULTS: The specific anti-MAGE-1 antibodies were detected in the serum of the mice immunized with pcDNA3.1-HSP70-MAGE-1(161-169) DNA vaccine.It showed that B16F10 melanoma growth in mice of DNA vaccine group was obviously suppressed compared with that in saline control group, with tumor inhibitory rate of 40.7%.The IFN-γ released by mouse primary splenocytes in mice of HSP70-MAGE-1(161-169) DNA vaccine group was 3.05 times of that in saline control group.CONCLUSION: pcDNA3.1-HSP70-MAGE-1(161-169) may be an effective DNA vaccine for the treatment of MAGE-1 dependent tumors.
