Summary
The tissue of subcutaneous form of Ehrlich's adenocarcinoma (explant 1284) and the spleen of a white mouse (explant 1191) were cultured in vitro on nutrient media containing normal or immune antitumor, antisplenic and antihepatic sera of low and high titers. The results of this work demonstrate that sera with high titer of specific antibodies retard the appearance of manifestations of growth and affect its intensity in the explants of corresponding tissues. Low titer sera do not possess these properties. On the contrary, antitumor sera with a low content of specific antibodies have a growth stimulating effect on the tissues of Ehrlich's adenocarcinoma.
