Figure 2.
The distribution of the inducible ClyA gene expression.
Notes: (A) Bioluminescence images were obtained following IV injection of the engineered Salmonella typhimurium before doxycycline administration. Expression of luxCDABE in the advanced gliomas was verified by the in vivo bioluminescence imaging at 1, 2, and 3 days after IV injection of the engineered S. typhimurium. (B) Immunoblotting analysis of the expression of ClyA in tumor tissues from rats injected with engineered S. typhimurium before (−) and after doxycycline induction (+). (C) The observed body weights of rats were not significantly different between the three groups at the first 7 days of treatment. P>0.05.
Abbreviations: ClyA, cytolysin A; IV, intravenous; Dox, doxycycline; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; SL, treatment group; d, days.
