Intramuscular administration of TLA 7 days after the tumor-cell inoculation caused apparent inhibition of the tumor growth on day 14. The second treatment facilitated the therapeutic effects. Intravenous transfer of spleen cells prepared from TLA-sensitized mice into tumor-bearing mice also represented the growth inhibitory effects. Prominent effects were seen when the transferred cells were prepared 5 days after sensitization of donor animals. The inhibitory effects were absent in the groups transferred only the adherent cells or the non-adherent cells prepared from sensitized mice. The strongest inhibitory effect was observed in the group to which both adherent and non-adherent spleen cells were transferred simultaneously from sensitized mice. In in vitro experiments, spleen cells obtained from sensitized mice showed cytolytic effect on P-815 or YAC-1 cells after the secondary stimulation in vitro with TLA. Large non-adherent cells containing densely packed granules were induced when cultured with the adherent cells obtained from sensitized mice. These results revealed that TLA can inhibit the growth of the chemically-induced transplantable tumors by activation of adherent and non-adherent spleen cells.}, pages = {7--12}, title = {Therapeutic Effects of Toxoplasma Lysate Antigen on 20-Methylcholanthrene-Induced BALB/c Mouse Tumors}, volume = {54}, year = {1992} }
