Abstract To observe the anti-tumor activity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Heat Shock Protein 65, the recombination protein HSP65 were expressed in E. coli and purified to mix with Freund’s adjuvant and then immunize two groups of C57BL/6J mice once a week for three times and seven times respectively. Two weeks after last immunization, B16-F10 melanomas cells were subcutaneous inoculated to investigate the anti-tumor effect of these vaccines. The results showed that mice immunized HSP65 three times had no significant anti-tumor effect with tumor inhibitory rate of 14.2% while when mice were pretreated with HSP65 seven times, its excised tumors were 73.2% smaller than those from control mice and the pathological section showed more focal necrosis and lymphocyte infiltration while less karyokinesis which implied the possible anti-tumor mechanism. However the precise mechanism still need more investigation.
