Female FVB/N HER-2/neu transgenic mice from the age of 2 months were subcutaneously injected with saline, the peptide Epitalon(R) (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) or with the peptide Vilon(R) (Lys-Glu) in a single dose of 1 microg/mouse for 5 consecutive days every month. Epitalon treatment reduced the cumulative

## Abstract The effect of various regimens of treatment with melatonin on the development of mammary tumors in HER2/neu transgenic mice was investigated. Female HERβ2/neu mice starting from the age of 2 months were kept under standard light/dark regimen and as given melatonin with tap water (20 mg/
Transgenic mice carrying the HER-2/neu proto-oncogene under tissue-specific transcriptional control of a mammary tumor virus long terminal repeat (Tg-MMTVneu mice) spontaneously develop mammary carcinomas. HER-2/neu is a tumor antigen that can be recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes if tumor cells
