Increased tumor immunity in mice inoculated with muconomycin A-treated B16 melanoma cells. 1978

C E Brinckerhoff, and M Lubin

B16 melanoma cells were treated in vitro with muconomycin A, a long-lasting inhibitor of protein and glycoprotein synthesis, to reduce cellular sialic acid. Two i.p. inoculations of 10(7) muconomycin-treated cells into female C57BL/6 mice, followed by challenge with homologous live cells, resulted in a significant decrease in tumor incidence when compared to the results of inoculation with untreated cells (p less than 0.01). Inoculation of mice with cells treated with neuraminidase resulted in little or no decrease in tumor incidence. Effective immunity was dependent on the number of cells injected and was found only with the i.p. route of inoculation into female mice.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

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.
