Effect of subcutaneously administered 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane on plasmacytoma growth. 1980

M Platica, and C Bojko, and G Steiner, and V P Hollander

2,6,10,14-Tetramethylpentadecane (pristane), s.c. injected simultaneously with plasmacytoma inocula, enhances the transplantability of tumor cells. The effect is dose and time dependent. The enhancement is shown only by plasmacytoma (MOPC-315 and MPC-11) and not by the murine lymphosarcoma and chondrosarcoma tested. Various mechanisms, such as stress and depression of humoral and cellular immunity, have been considered.

D008228	Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin	Any of a group of malignant tumors of lymphoid tissue that differ from HODGKIN DISEASE, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumors is the absence of giant REED-STERNBERG CELLS, a characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.
