title: Effect of myelopeptide-2 on the development of spontaneous and urethane-induced tumors in mice.
abstract: We studied the effect of endogenous immunoregulatory myelopeptide-2 on the development of spontaneous and urethane-induced lung adenomas. Long-term treatment with myelopeptide-2 (25 injections) in parallel with urethane poisoning decreased animal mortality caused by this carcinogen. Short-term treatment with myelopeptide-2 decreased the number of spontaneous and urethane-induced lung tumors in mice. Myelopeptide-2 delayed the appearance of urethane-induced tumors irrespective of the number of injections.
