RESUMO
AIM: To characterize, by means of univariate and multivariate approaches, the T helper (Th)-1 and Th-2 responses during the different phases of tumor immunoediting. MATERIALS & METHODS: We used a multivariate principal component analysis applied to analyze the joint behavior of serum concentrations of IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-10 and IL-4, during the different phases of tumor immunoediting, in CBi/L mice challenged with M-406 mammary adenocarcinoma. RESULTS & CONCLUSION: Animals in equilibrium phase showed the widest variations in values of the four cytokines. In this experimental model, the role of IFN-γ would be related to tumor growth and progression, while IL-10 would participate in the antitumor immune response.
