Abstract
Local injection (i.e. injection at the site of tumour inoculation) of strains of C. Parvum which have a significant anti-tumour effect when given systemically (i.e. intravenously or, in the case of subcutaneous tumour transplant, intraperitoneally) strongly inhibits the growth of isogeneic transplants of a fibrosarcoma in intact CBA mice but has little or no effect on subcutaneous transplants of the same tumour in T-cell deprived mice. The anti-tumour effect of local injection of C. parvum, unlike that of systemic injection in this particular tumour system, thus appears to be T-cell dependent.
