The ability to metastasize requires that tumor cells be able to degrade matrix. Nontoxic compounds that inhibit matrix digestion might be useful as anti-metastatic agents. We have investigated whether phenytoin, a drug commonly used in clinical practice that inhibits the production of collagenase by

The effects of DL-a-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), a specific irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, on the growth of experimental mouse B 16-F 10 melanoma cells were investigated. DFMO (3%) in drinking water was administered to B16-FIO melanoma-bearing mice. A t 24 days, B16-FIO melano
## Abstract Cellular proteins, retinoic acid inducible gene‐I and Toll‐like receptor 3, sense dsRNA including polyinosinic‐polycytidylic acid (PIC) to stimulate innate immune response. The local administration of PIC has been demonstrated to be effective in anti‐tumor immunotherapy. However, the ef
## Abstract B16F10 murine melanoma cell proliferation was inhibited after 48h in medium with serum in the range 0.1 to 0.5% by volume. Cell viability was mostly retained, whereas cells completely deprived of serum died. Growth‐arrested cultures showed serum‐dependent suppression of DNA synthesis. T
Tumor-colony formation in the liver and lungs of mice was assessed, after delivery of equal numbers of 616 melanoma or colon-26 carcinoma cells via the portal vein or the hepatic artery, and via the pulmonary artery or the bronchial artery. Significantly greater lung involvement occurred after deliv
