Gene electrotransfer treatment with plasmid encoding interleukin 12 for spontaneous tumours in dogs

Nataša Tozon, 30. May, 2022

Gene electrotransfer of immuno stimulating cytokines is an advanced therapy, aimed at stimulating the patient’s immune response against cancer.

Numerous clinical studies over the years have confirmed that this novel treatment is safe for the patient and the environment. It has a positive effect on local tumour control and disease progression. The gene electrotransfer of immunostimulating cytokines provides the patient with a good quality of life with minimal side effects. This was the main reason why the owners found this treatment method suitable and would choose it again if needed.

The results of our research have been presented at numerous scientific and professional meetings and published in major internationally recognized journals. Our achievements have also been made known to the public.

To get an insight into our work and the results, we invite you to view some of the publications.
