Tumor suppression by pyran copolymer: correlation with production of cytotoxic macrophages. 1975

R P Harmel, and B zbar

Intraperitoneal administration of pyran copolymer (pyran-2-succinic anhydride-4,5-dicarboxytetrahydro-6-methylanhydride polymer) protected C3H/HeN male mice against tumor development after intradermal challenge with cells of the transplantable, methylcholanthrene-induced, syngeneic fibrosarcoma 1038. Peritoneal cells from pyran-treated but not from normal animals suppressed tumor development in local passive-transfer experiments. Adherent peritoneal cells from pyran-treated mice were cytotoxic in vitro to several syngeneic murine tumor cell lines including 1038.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
