## Abstract We have previously shown that irradiated LSTRA cells (LX) were immunogenic and could prolong survival of mice bearing LSTRA tumors. This study demonstrated that addition of __Corynebacterium parvum__ to the LX dramatically improved the strength of tumor immunity. In pretreatmentβchallen

Abstract
This report describes a new animal model for active, specific, systemic immunotherapy of leukemia. Mice were challenged (day 0) with 10^3^ viable LSTRA cells and treated later with a vaccine containing 10^7^ irradiated LSTRA cells. Four intraperitoneal or intravenous vaccine injections, on days 2, 9, 16 and 23, caused significant prolongation of survival; single injections by the same routes had inconsistent effects. Vaccine was not effective against a higher initial challenge dose, when given later in the course of tumor growth, when given intradermally or when used in weanling mice. The therapeutic effect was specific since a vaccine composed of an antigenically unrelated leukemia was ineffective. These results suggest that LSTRA is suitable for studying active, systemic, specific immunotherapy.

The possibility of active specific immunotherapy using interleukin-1 (IL-1) plus sonicated tumor supernatant (SS) was examined in a murine tumor model. The growth of intraperitoneally or subcutaneously inoculated plasmacytoma MOPC IME, which is syngeneic to BALB/c mice, was significantly suppressed
