      Abstract

      Therapy of the 6C3HED lymphoma in syngeneic C3H/HeN mice was studied using tumor-specific antiserum in combination with adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, or l-asparaginase. Antiserum therapy is only effective in the control of small numbers of tumor cells, and cell cures were only obtained when this number did not exceed 5 × 105. Complete suppression of larger numbers of tumor cells (106 to 5 × 107) could be achieved with the inclusion of chemotherapy at levels that reduced the tumor cell number to less than 105 in the case of l-asparaginase and less than 104 with cyclophosphamide and adriamycin. The differences in drug cooperative effectiveness are likely to be due to drug-induced impairment of macrophage mobilization to the tumor site.
