چکیده

It has been established that the mouse mam mary tumor agent (MTA), with the properties of an infectious agent or virus, will withstand filtra tion, lyophilization, and desiccation (1, 2-4, 8-10, 15). Gye (11) and Mann (12-14) advanced the theory that the agent would be liberated in its active form following freezing and would induce mammary cancer within a short time, because of its "selective infectivity" for the mammary

Host-induced changes in the mouse mammary tumor agent from transplanted tumors as determined by neutralization studies.

The mouse mammary tumor agent (MTA), normally transferred in the milk of females of cancerous strains, has the properties of an infectious agent or virus (1, 8-6). Antisera produced against agent-containing mouse mammary tissues, either normal or cancerous, in rabbits, rats, or guinea pigs have been found to neutralize the MTA in vivo and in vitro (1, 15, 24). The studies to be reported (8) wer...

P-88: Expression Pattern of Maturation Genes During In Vitro Culture of Alginate Encapsulated Preantral Follicles Derived From Frozen-Thawed Mouse Ovaries

Background: This study was set up to evaluate the effect of ovarian tissue slow freezing on in vitro growth and pattern of maturation genes expression in mouse preantral follicles encapsulated within alginate hydrogel. Materials and Methods: Ovaries of 12-14 days old female NMRI mice were randomly allocated into control and slow freezing groups. In slow freezing group, ovaries were equilibrated...

Combined Extract of Heated 4T1 and a Heat-Killed Preparation of Lactobacillus Casei in a Mouse Model of Breast Cancer

Background: The adjuvanticity potential of Lactobacillus casei was first suggested in an old survey. The present study was designed to investigate the efficacy of a new immunotherapy against breast cancer made by mixing an extract of heated 4T1 mammary carcinoma cell line and a heat-killed preparation of Lactobacillus casei.Methods: Female BALB/c mice (6–8 weeks old, n=40) were challenged subcu...

cause and that this, in mammals as in birds, is a virus.― Mann (33—35)injected frozen spontaneous and transplanted mammary cancers and explained the development of tumors on the basis that the mam mary tumor milk agent-virus was liberated in its active form following freezing, since mammary tu mors arose at the site of injection of the suspended frozen tumor-mince. The tumors developed as r...
