    Abstract:
    In the present study we tried to reevaluate the optimal combination timing in the experimental treatment with BRM and chemotherapeutic agents. BALB/c mice with advanced malignant ascites tumor (MOPC 104 E) were treated with cyclophosphamide (CPA, 2 mg/kg) and BRM such as immunostimulator (OK-432, Lentinan or Bestatin), interleukin-2 (IL 2) or cultured killer cells. The survival of mice was prolonged when immunostimulators were given before CPA. However, no combined effect was seen when immunostimulators were administered after CPA. Treatment with cultured killer cells and in vivo IL 2 after immunochemotherapy (immunostimulator followed by CPA) was the most effective protocol in which immunostimulator, chemotherapy, killer cells and IL 2 respectively seemed to induce, regulate, supplement and amplify anti-tumor effector cells.
