ACCELERATION BY THYMOSIN OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESISTANCE TO MURINE SARCOMA VIRUS-INDUCED TUMOR IN MICE*

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The development of resistance to progressive tumor growth and the effect of a thymic extract upon this developmental process were examined in CBA/Wh mice. Inoculating mice of various ages with murine sarcoma virus (Moloney) permitted the assessment of the period of time postnatally at which the animals developed a threshold level of resistance to progressive tumor growth. Resistance in CBA/Wh mice, at the virus dose used, was first detected at approximately two weeks of age and was completely developed at five weeks.
