Enhancement of tumor growth by graft-versus-host reaction.
A graft-versus-host reaction was induced in (BALB/c x C5 7BL/6)F(1) mice by intravenous injection of BALB/c spleen cells. Six days later, the mice received subcutaneous grafts of a chemically induced BALB/c sarcoma. The growth of the tumor grafts was accelerated.
