β¦ Synopsis
Transplanted MOPC 315 solid myelomas in BALB/cCR mice were treated with single injections of 1.6 x lo6 syngeneic MOPC 315 cells combined either with human gamma globulin or with Concanavalin A (Con A). The group of mice whch received injections of MOPC 315 cells coupled with human gamma globulin failed to show any significant response. The second group which received injections of MOPC 315 cells coated with Con A responded in variable fashion. Response was measured in terms of delay of tumor growth, differences in growth pattern, and prolongation of survival time. Slight response was observed in 8 of the 20 mice; moderate response was Seen in 6 mice; 6 mice did not respond. The data obtained point to a possibly effective tumor vaccine which deserves further study.

## Abstract It is generally accepted that histologically similar tumors grow more slowly, with less angiogenesis, in aged mice relative to young mice. We subcutaneously implanted TRAMPβC2 tumor cells, a prostate cancer cell line not previously examined in aging, into syngeneic C57/Bl6 young (4 mont
## Abstract The effect of cyclophosphamide on the transplantability of hamster tumor cells transformed by PARAβadenovirus 7 was investigated. Normally, such syngeneic transplants seldom, if ever, regress spontaneously. It was found that chemotherapy was remarkably effective against this neoplasm. A
We have used conformationally restricted retinoids to investigate the role of individual RAR subtypes and RXR in mediating the growth response of ovarian tumor cells to retinoids. Our results show that treatment of all-trans-RA-sensitive CAOV-3 cells with retinoids that bind and activate a single RA
