## Abstract Immunomodulators of bacterial origin, such as muramylβdipeptide (MDP) and trehalose dimycolate, are able to stimulate some important biological functions of macrophages, such as their capacity to secrete a monokine, the thymocyte mitogenic protein (TMP), and to limit the growth of masto
Peritoneal cells from C57B1/6 mice, incubated in vitro with a pure mouse granuloma protein (MGP), decreased growth of Lewis tumor cells (3LL). This cytostatic activity was due to the release of stable cytostatic factor@) as determined by reduction of '2Siododeoxyuridine ('251-UdR) incorporation in t
The host cellular response to IP injection of mitomycin C was studied in C3H/HeN mice. As assessed by in vitro cytolysis assay using 125I-iododeoxyuridine-labelled tumour target cells, mitomycin C-induced peritoneal macrophages showed the maximum tumouricidal activity 4 days after the IP injection.
