Complete regression of Lewis lung carcinoma by cyclophosphamide in combination with immunomodulators. 1985

S Abe, and K Takahashi, and M Yamazaki, and D Mizuno

Several types of combination therapy, including OK432, cyclophosphamide (CY), and/or lentinan plus bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), reported to have strong antitumor activity against some tumors, were only slightly effective on Lewis lung carcinoma (LC) in C57BL/6 mice. Combination therapy by intralesional injection of OK432 followed by intraperitoneal administration of CY, lentinan and LPS caused almost complete regression of intradermal solid-type LC. Maximal antitumor activity was observed when lentinan and LPS were administered later than CY. Mice in which LC had regressed due to this combination therapy showed an antitumor delayed hypersensitivity reaction (measured by the footpad test), but they were not resistant to rechallenge with LC. These results provide a new model for combination therapy against weakly immunogenic tumors.

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.

D010844 Picibanil A lyophilized preparation of a low-virulence strain (SU) of Streptococcus pyogenes (S. hemolyticus), inactivated by heating with penicillin G. It has been proposed as a noncytotoxic antineoplastic agent because of its immune system-stimulating activity.

D003131 Combined Modality Therapy The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

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.
