    AnnotationThe C57BL/6 mice bearing TC-1/A9 tumours exprimed HPV16 oncogenes and downregulated of H-2b molecules were immunized with highly immunogenic E7GGG.GUS DNA vaccine expressing the fused gene of modified HPV16 E7 (E7GGG) with E.coli β-glucuronidase (GUS). The tumors in situ were injected with recombinant vaccinia virus MVA expressing the gene for murine GM-CSF (MVA-GM-CSF). Two doses of the DNA vaccine combined with a local treatment with MVA-GM-CSF were able to inhibit significantly the growth of tumors. ELISPOT-IFNγ showed that in situ expression of the GM-CSF gene did not enhance the E7 specific systemic cell response. The local injections of MVA-GM-CSF induced an increase of intratumoral CD3+ T cell counts and the DNA vaccination resulted in up-regulation of MHC type I molecules on tumor cells in vivo. We suppose that i.t. delivery of MVA-GM-CSF changed the local tumor microenvironment and rendered tumors more attractive and better accessible to effector T cells.
