  • Title: Immunotherapy of the guinea pig line 10 hepatocarcinoma with a variety of nonviable bacteria.
    Author: Brunda MJ, Mathews HL, Ferguson HR, McClatchy JK, Minden P.
    Journal: Cancer Res; 1980 Sep; 40(9):3211-3. PubMed ID: 6775802.
    Abstract:
    A variety of heat-killed bacteria were tested for their capacity to induce regressions of established line 10 hepatocarcinomas in syngeneic guinea pigs. Multiple intralesional injections of heat-killed Escherichia coli, Streptococcus mutans, Listeria monocytogenes, and Propionibacterium acnes resulted in complete regression of the tumor in a majority of guinea pigs. Repeated injections of heat-killed Mycobacterium bovis strain Bacillus Calmette-Guérin caused no regressions. Surviving animals were immune to subsequent challenge with line 10 cells but not L2C cells, another syngeneic tumor.
