Antitumor effect of formalin-fixed Toxoplasma gondii organisms on EL4 lymphoma in Toxoplasma-infected mice. 1986

Y Suzuki, and M Muto, and A Kobayashi

The antitumor effect of formalin-fixed Toxoplasma organisms (f-Tp) as an immunostimulant on EL4 lymphoma was examined in Toxoplasma-infected syngeneic female C57B1/6 mice. A potent antitumor effect, a marked suppression of tumor growth, as well as a prolongation of lifespan, was induced by an injection with 10(7) f-Tp in a mixture of 2.5 X 10(5) EL4 cells. The antitumor effect of f-Tp could be observed regardless of the time, route, or dose of infection. The peritoneal exudate cells induced by f-Tp in Toxoplasma-infected mice showed an antitumor activity when the cells were implanted with tumor cells in normal mice, indicating that the cells activated by f-Tp caused the antitumor effect of f-Tp. The effect of f-Tp on EL4 in Toxoplasma-infected mice was significantly stronger than that of 10(7) live bacillus Calmette-Guerin organisms (BCG) in BCG-sensitized mice.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D005557 Formaldehyde A highly reactive aldehyde gas formed by oxidation or incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. In solution, it has a wide range of uses: in the manufacture of resins and textiles, as a disinfectant, and as a laboratory fixative or preservative. Formaldehyde solution (formalin) is considered a hazardous compound, and its vapor toxic. (From Reynolds, Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p717) Formalin,Formol,Methanal,Oxomethane
D000276 Adjuvants, Immunologic Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.
