Stimulation of resistance to tumor growth of athymic nude mice pretreated by combined local hyperthermia and X-irradiation. 1979

A Yerushalmi, and Y Weinstein

Host resistance to tumor growth was studied in athymic nude mice of C57BL background. Animals were pretreated in the left hind leg by local hyperthermia, local X-irradiation, or combined local hyperthermia and X-irradiation. Twenty-four hr posttreatment, the animals were inoculated with the metastatic Lewis lung carcinoma tumor. Half of the animals in each group were inoculated in the pretreated leg and animals of the other half of the group were inoculated in the contralateral untreated leg. An increase of 30 to 45% in life span was achieved in normal and nude mice pretreated by combined local hyperthermia and irradiation. The increase in life span was similar in animals inoculated in the pretreated leg or in the untreated contralateral leg. These results indicate that T-lymphocytes are not involved in the protection against tumor growth.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013601	T-Lymphocytes	Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D014965	X-Rays	Penetrating electromagnetic radiation emitted when the inner orbital electrons of an atom are excited and release radiant energy. X-ray wavelengths range from 1 pm to 10 nm. Hard X-rays are the higher energy, shorter wavelength X-rays. Soft x-rays or Grenz rays are less energetic and longer in wavelength. The short wavelength end of the X-ray spectrum overlaps the GAMMA RAYS wavelength range. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
