title: Retinoic acid: enhancement of a tumor and inhibition of interferon's antitumor action.
abstract: The effect of trans-retinoic acid on the growth of P388 lymphoid tumors in inbred female DBA/2 mice in the presence or absence of interferon (FN) treatment was studied. This acid derivative of vitamin A enhanced local tumor growth. trans-retinoic acid also partially reversed IFN protection against tumor growth and mortality.
