Embodiment VIII
[0038] The VEGF receptor antagonist is before, during, or after starting chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and any combination thereof, i.e., before and during, before and after, during and after, or before starting chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy, During, and after giving. For example, when the VEGF receptor antagonist is an antibody, the antibody is usually administered between 1-30 days, preferably 3-20 days, more preferably 5-12 days before the start of radiotherapy and / or chemotherapy.
[0039] radiotherapy
[0040] The radiation source used in conjunction with the VEGF receptor antagonist may be extrinsic or intrinsic to the patient being treated. When the radiation source is external to the patient, the therapy is called external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). When the source of radiation is internal to the patient, the therapy is called brachytherapy (BT).
[0041] Radiation therapy is administered according to well-known standard techniques, using standard equipment m...

[0181] Example 1. Cell lines and media
[0182] NIH 3T3 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville MD). The C441 cell line was constructed by transfecting 3T3 cells with chimeric receptor mouse flk-1(VEGFR-2) / human fms. 10A2, a 3T3 transfectant containing the chimeric receptor human fms / mouse FLK-2, has been isolated and characterized (Dosil et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 13:6572-6585 (1993)). Cells were typically maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DME) supplemented with 10% calf serum (CS), 1 mM L-glutamine, antibiotics, and 600 μg / ml G418 (Geneticin; Sigma, St Louis MO).
[0183] The glioblastoma cell line, GBM-18, was maintained in DME supplemented with 5% calf serum, 1 mM L-glutamine, and antibiotics.
[0184] A stable 3T3 line secreting a soluble chimeric protein, mouse flk-1(VEGFR-2):SEAPs (secreted alkaline phosphatases) was produced and maintained in DMEM and 10% calf serum. Conditioned medium was collected. Isolation of solub...
