Abstract
Guinea pigs which were injected repeatedly with a mixture of a 3MKC1 extract of line 10 tumor and 6‐O‐(2‐tetradecyl‐hexadecanoyl)‐muramyl‐dipeptide (B30‐MDP) rejected a tumor graft of line 10. Such an adjuvant effect of B30‐MDP was also demonstrated when X‐ray‐treated line 10 cells were mixed with B30‐MDP dissolved in phosphatebuffered saline and inoculated into the animals.
Keywords: Adjuvant, Antitumor immunity, Guinea pig tumor, B30‐MDP
