Abstract

Groups of inbred C3H mice selected on the basis of strong or weak PPD reactions after sensitization with complete Freund adjuvant had significantly different reactions to PHA. The growth rate of a methylcholanthrene-induced tumor, previously shown to elicit a cell-mediated immune response, was significantly different in these two groups of mice. The basis for the marked variation observed between members of an inbred mouse strain in response to CFA is not understood but may bear an important potential relationship to tumor growth.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
