Example 11
PBS with an MGF, HmT (5×1010 VP) with an MGF, or HmT-PCION (5×1010 VP) with or without an MGF was intratumorally injected and, 72 hours after injection, MCF7 tumor tissues were obtained. The obtained tumor tissues were fixed in 10% formalin and paraffin-embedded, and 5 μm sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and analyzed using a microscope. The tumor sections were also stained with an anti-mouse proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA, available from DaKo) which indicates tumor cell proliferation or an anti-E1A (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibody which indicates Ad replication in tumors. Immunohistochemical sections were counterstained with Mayer's hematoxylin.
