C57BL/6J mice used in the study were randomly divided into control and electrical stimulation group. The tumor model was established by subcutaneously injecting MC38 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells into mice. The mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory factors IL-10, IL-6 and 1L-1β of the mice was analyzed by RT-PCR. The numbers of CD8 + T cells a...
