Interference of MHV3 virus on ascites tumor growth.
In this experimental study the Authors have evaluated the interference of MHV3 hepatitis virus on Ascites Tumor's growth, using 4 groups of mice, the first one considered as control, the others inoculated with the virus 48 hours before, at the same time and 48 hours after tumor's inoculation. In each group labeling index, mitotic index and ascites volume were assessed a week after tumor's inoculation. The results seem to reveal an inhibition of tumor's growth in the second group. For this reason on the base of these encouraging observation, the Authors will continue researches to further confirm these preliminary results.
