Abstract:
:The depression of the immunological status of BALB/c mice treated during infancy with two different doses of urethane, alone or combined with cortisone, was evaluated by counting the number of plaque forming cells at 30 or 50 days of age. The incidence of lung adenomatous nodules was directly related to the degree of immunological impairment at 50 days of age. Twenty-seven lung adenomata were tested in an in vitro system involving spleen cells immune against the same single tumour used as target cell. Eighty-six per cent of tumours in the most immunodepressed group of mice were positive compared with 20-40% in the less immunodepressed groups. Syngeneic cross-reaction tests showed that non-immunogenic tumours were immunosensitive since 66% positive tests were obtained when target cells belonging to the less immunodepressed groups were tested with spleen cells of mice immunized with immunogenic adenomata.
