β¦ Synopsis
PCO, an aqueous-alcoholic extract of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was found t o inhibit mitoses of 4 different ascites tumors removed from mice. Carried as established in vitro lines 6 tumors and 4 established lines of non-neoplastic cells could not b e inhibited by PCO. Primary cultures (diploid) of mouse embryo tissue cells and granulocytic blast cells from adult mice also could not be mitotically inhibited by PCO.

BACKGROUND. Retinoic acid (RA) is recognized as an inhibitor of tumorigenesis, but conversely, has also been shown to act as a tumor enhancer, therefore its role in prostate tumor cell growth was investigated. METHODS. The response of two human prostate tumor cell lines (PC-3 and DU-145), and cell l
## Abstract Agglutination by two lectins, Concanavalin A (Con A) and Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA), has been investigated in a human lymphoid cell system. The main conclusions of this study are: (1) no systematic correlation exists between the neoplastic state and sensitivity to Con A or RCA; (
