Antiinflammatory reaction associated with murine L1210 leukemia

Summary Mice bearing L1210 leukemia did not show impaired humoral or cellular immune response to antigenic stimulation during the early stage of the tumor, and a depressed response was noted only in the terminal stage. L1210 cells were shown to suppress inflammatory reaction in vivo.Supported in part by USPHS research grant No.5-01-RR05-352-12, and by theIndependent Order of Foresters, San Bernardino District 3208.
