title: Inhibitory effect of rat immunization with tularemia vaccine on the in vivo clastogenicity of 4 anthracycline antibiotics.
abstract: We studied the in vivo effect of rat immunization with tularemia live vaccine (TLV) on chromosomal aberrations (CA) induced in bone marrow cells by 4 anthracycline antibiotics. CA induced by adriamycin (ADR) and 4'-epiadriamycin (EADR) in rat bone marrow cells consisted mainly of chromatid breaks (approximately 90%), whereas lesions induced by aclacur (AC) and aclarubicin (ACR) consisted only of chromatid breaks. Preliminary cutaneous immunization of rats with TLV revealed significant suppression of CA induced by all 4 antibiotics. The present and previous results suggest that TLV may be a potent anticlastogenic factor.
