The effect of adherent peritoneal exudate cells on plasmacytoma growth in BALB/c mice.
The effect of adherent peritoneal exudate cells (APECs) from pristane treated and intact mice was studied by Winn's test. The experiments were performed with the use of plasmacytoma cell lines TEPC-15f, MP-26 and five primary lines. The studies showed that APECs from mice exposed to treatment with pristane were able to stimulate growth of both TEPC-15f and MP-26 plasmacytoma. The primary plasmacytoma lines adapted to intraperitoneal growth more easily in the presence of adherent cells than when they were given alone.
