title: [The effect of the spleen on tumor growth in mouse lines with various spleen sizes].
abstract: Selectively raised laboratory mice differ according to spleen size in their immunologic behavior against various tumors. A small spleen and splenectomy reduce tumor growth, whereas a large spleen or additional transfer of tumor antigen-specific spleen cells ("suppressor cells") stimulate tumor incidence.
