C755 mammary carcinoma cells were injected i.p. into adult mice of the strain of origin (C57BL/6). By using a common insertion point but directing the needle caudad or craniad, a differential delivery of tumor cells was deliberately achieved. At high cell doses, the median survival time was shorter for animals receiving anterior injections than for those given pos terior injections. At limiting...

PURPOSE For the effective internal radiation therapy of i.p. disseminated tumors, we developed avidin (Av)-dendrimer-chelate complex, which can be labeled with indium-111, emitting Auger and conversion electrons, with very high specific activity, and we studied its internalization, biodistribution, and therapeutic effect in nude mice with i.p. tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Generation 4 dendrime...

Novel pyrimidinyl pyrazole derivatives were synthesized and examined for cytotoxic and antitumor activity. Mannich reaction was employed to construct this scaffold. Among the compounds synthesized, a series of propene derivatives exhibited a potent cytotoxic activity against some tumor cell lines including multidrug resistant cell lines due to the overexpression of P-glycoprotein. The vinyl bon...

Fractions of rabbit anti-Vibrio cholerae serum containing gammaG antibodies were compared with fractions containing gammaM antibodies for their ability to protect mice against lethal infection resulting from the intraperitoneal injection of organisms suspended in mucin. About twice as much gammaG as gammaM (estimated by quantitative precipitation) was required to protect against approximately 1...
