title: Anti-tumor preventative effect of mono-therapy with the use of proteus vaccine, Staphylococcus antitoxin and divaccine of Staphylococcus-proteus.
abstract: Anti-tumor preventative effect of mono-therapy with the use of Proteus vaccine, Staphylococcus antitoxin and divaccine of Staphylococcus-Proteus has been studied. Experiments were carried out on 80 non-purebred laboratory white mice (age--3-3,5 months, body mass--18-20 g) and 60 rats (body mass--100-120 g) using intraperitoneal inoculation of Ehrlich's adenocarcinoma (ascitic form--EAT, in mice, cancer cells--3 x 10(6)), and subcutaneous inoculation of Sarcoma S-45 (in rats). Anti-tumor preventative effect of bacterial vaccines and immunization was evaluated according to the following parameters: Frequency of cancer development, Inhibition of cancer growth, Body mass index of experimental animals, Volume of ascitic fluid. Results of experiments have shown that use of bacterial polysaccharides with preventative purposes has better effect at S-45 growth than at EAT growth; Vaccination with Proteus prolongs lifespan mach more than vaccination with antitoxin of Staphylococcus; Vaccination with complex divaccine of Staphylococcus-Proteus causes complete resorption of tumors from 32 to 60 days; Development of experimental malignant tumors depends on type of anti-microbial vaccines and starting date of inoculation after completion of vaccination.
