Protection of mice against syngeneic C1300 neuroblastoma challenge by immunization with membranes of C1300 neuroblastoma cells. 1980

G Lauro, and R Businaro, and R H Butler, and R Revoltella

Male A/J mice 2-3 months old were inoculated sc with membranes from syngeneic C1300 neuroblastoma cells (clone NB6R) in complete Freund's adjuvant. Significant immunoprophylaxis was noted in the sensitized mice upon sc challenge with viable NB6R cells. During the experiment (60 days from viable cell challenge), each control mouse developed a palpable tumor and died within 50 days. Complete protection was obtained with a program of 4 inoculations of NB6R cell membranes. Each mouse given only 1 inoculation of NB6R cell membranes developed a palpable tumor, but afer 60 days only 1 mouse in 7 had died, which indicated a significant degree of protection. With in vitro tests of lymphocyte proliferation, rosette formation, and complement fixation, it was shown that these mice had mounted both cellular and humoral immune response against the tumor cells.

D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.

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.
