[Effect of active interferonization and anti-thymocyte globulin on the growth of virus-induced hamster melanoma A-Mel-S]. / Der Einfluss einer aktiven Interferonisierung und der Einfluss von Anti-Thymozyten-Globulin auf das Wachstum des Virus induzierten Hamstermelanoms A-Mel-S

The present data show that biological and synthetic inducers of interferon are able to reduce the growth of a transplantable malignant melanoma in the Syrian hamster. The advantage of the biological inducer H-MP are that it is not toxic for humans and that a high titer of interferon can be maintained over a long period of time.
