Intratumoral Administration of Recombinant Murine Interleukin‐12 Prevents Tumor Progression and Bone Invasion
ABSTRACT Objective Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) frequently invades the mandibular bone, leading to metastasis and poor prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of locally administered interleukin‐12 (IL‐12) using an immunocompetent mouse model mimicking the clinical features of mandibular bone invasion. Methods The effects of IL‐12 on tumor growth and bone resorption were evaluated using subcutaneous and bone invasion models of OSCC in both immunocompetent and athymic mice. Bone resorp …
