title: [Biological effect of bestatin against rat ascites hepatomas and enhancement of interferon production].
abstract: Biological effect of bestatin against rat ascites hepatomas was investigated. Bestatin administration inhibited effectively growth of AH 130, AH 44 and AH 66, and prolonged survival days of the tumor-bearing rats. In addition bestatin slightly exhibited interferon production in spleen cells from ddY mice in vitro.
