EVALUATION THE LATE APOPTOSIS EFFECTS OF VACCINE-STRAIN MEASLES VIRUS AND NIMOTUZUMAB ON CANCER CELLS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate of late apoptosis effects of vacine-strain measles virus (MeV) and Nimotuzumab against cancer cells. Materials and methods: MeV and Ninotuzumab were used to induce late apoptosis pathway on Hep2 cancer cells. Hep2 cells treated with MeV and Nimotuzumab were collected at 48, 72 hours and 96 hours to perform flow cytometry. Results: The proportion of late apoptosis cells in treated groups was significantly higher than control group. MeV and Nimotuzumab combination induced higher rate of late apoptosis cells than thouse in single treatment groups. Conclusion: MeV and Nimotuzumab combination increases late apoptosis on head and neck cancer Hep2 cells than single MeV or Nimotuzumab treatment.
