Enhancement of tumor growth following immunization with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin cell walls.
The effect of preimmunization with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin cell walls (BCGcw) on tumor growth was studied with the use of transplantable Morris Hepatoma 3924a in inbred ACl rats. There was an increase in tumor incidence, an increase in the i.m. tumor growth rate, and an increase in the average i.m. tumor mass in animals that were preimmunized with BCGcw. The BCGcw-induced enhancement in tumor ...
متن کاملBacillus Calmette-GuérinCell Wall Immunotherapy of Intramuscular and Metastatic Morris Rat Hepatomas1
Treatment with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin cell walls at tached to oil droplets (BCGcw) has little or no effect upon the growth of antigenic transplantable Morris hepatoma tumors, either of tumors growing at the i.m. site of tumor inoculation or of metastatic lesions in the lungs. When tumors weighing approximately 1 g were given injections directly on Day 10, 2 of 20 animals demonstrated regres s...
متن کاملImmunoprophylaxis of Methylcholanthrene-induced Tumors in Mice with Bacillus Calmette-Guérinand Methanol-extracted Residue *
The immunoprophylactic effects of i.p. administration of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and methanol-extracted residue of BCG (MER) on the production of tumors by 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA) in C57BL/6 mice were investigated. At the dose level of MCA used (500 /ug i.m.), almost all mice developed tumors. Pretreatment of the mice with BCG either 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after carcinogen adminis...
متن کاملIntravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérìn Therapy for Murine Bladder Tumors: Initiation of the Response by Fibronectin-mediated Attachment of Bacillus Calmette-Guérìn1
Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérìn (BCG) is considered to be one of the most effective treatments for superficial bladder cancer. Although the mechanisms by which BCG inhibits tumor growth are not known, previous studies have shown that systemic immunization to BCG and the local expression of the immune response in the bladder are associated with a favorable response to BCG therapy. We hav...
متن کاملDisseminated Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Disease after BCG Vaccination: A Case Report from China
Background: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination is recommended for newborn infants worldwide to prevent tuberculosis. However, complications do occur inevitably in a very low rate, among which the most serious is disseminated disease. The disseminated bacillus Calmette–Guérin disease is a rare disease with high fatality, and can be seen among persons with an underlying immunodeficiency. ...
