Since the beginning of gene therapy, most of genetransfection were focused on the tumor cells or effectorcells. We selected macrophages as the target cells of genetransfection because they are not only antitumor effectorcells but also antigen-presenting cells.They act as abridge connecting tumor cells with immune effector cells.Two cytokines we chosen are closely linkcd with thefunctions of macrophage. IFN-γis a principle factor toactivate macrophages and it incrcases MHC expression ofthem which can improve their antigen presenting ability.M-CSF is an important cytokine to keep theproliferation, differentiation and maturation ofmacrophage progenitor cells. In this study, we used a
