Six-day SRC assay as a chemosensitivity test has an advantage of high predictive rate for clinical response. However, it is pointed out that very few viable tumor cells are observed at the end of the assay, so that it may make the assay results unreliable. In this paper, we tested the effect of immunosuppressants on SRC assay using Walker carcinosarcoma originated from Wistar rat xenografted under the renal capsule of BDF1 mice. The changes of tumor size, pathological features and proliferative ability of xenografted tumor under the renal capsule of mice treated with cyclophosphamide, mizolibine or cyclosporin A are examined. Only cyclosporin A treatment could maintain the viable tumor cells and proliferative ability of the tumor grafted under the renal capsule 21 days after transplantation. In order to compare the original 6-day SRC assay developed by Bogden et al, we applied immunosuppressants to the 6-day assay. It is suggested that cyclosporin A and mizolibine amplify the sensitivity of tumor in 6-day SRC assay.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D002279 Carcinoma 256, Walker A transplantable carcinoma of the rat that originally appeared spontaneously in the mammary gland of a pregnant albino rat, and which now resembles a carcinoma in young transplants and a sarcoma in older transplants.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.

D003524 Cyclosporins A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi Trichoderma polysporum and Cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects. Cyclosporins have been proposed as adjuvants in tissue and organ transplantation to suppress graft rejection. Cyclosporines
