چکیده

The effects of specific dead tumor cell immunization and nonspecific immunostimulation with Corynebacterium parvum on the s.c. growth of the line 1 carcinoma in syngeneic BALB/c mice have been studied. Injection of heavily irradiated line ) carcinoma cells did not inhibit the transplantability or growth of the line 1 carcinoma, and in certain cases these treatments actually prolonged the period of rapid growth. This latter observation was traced to a mild inhibition of metastatic spread, which itself can slow the s.c. tumor growth. Treatment of the mice with 0.25 mg of C. parvum 7 days prior to transplant of the tumor had no effect on its growth by itself; but in combination with i.v.-injected tumor cells, which themselves had no effect on tumor growth, a 45% inhibition of tumor growth was induced. These data demonstrate that, in the weekly immunogenic line 1 carcinoma system, inhibition of s.c. transplants requires not only exposure to tumor antigens but also stimulation of the immunological reactivity.

Background and aim: Lung cancer is one of the most leading causes of cancer death in males and females and the second leading cause of cancer death.

This change has been reported in various cancers. The activity of DNA meth...
