Inhibition of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) growth by carbonyl iron.
Treatment of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells with carbonyl iron (20 mg/ml) produces a significant decrease in growth rate of tumor inoculum both in Swiss and in C57BL/6 mice. Possible interaction of the carbonyl iron or Fe+++ions with cell surface is suggested.
