Abstract

The first systematic studies of bacterial vaccines in the treatment of human cancer were performed by W. B. Coley (1891, 1893, 1898, 1906). Additional reports of cancer treatment with such vaccines appeared although not all were of a positive nature (reviewed by Nauts et al., 1946). The use of Coley’s toxins (mixtures of Streptococcus pyogenes and Serratia marcescens) fell into disfavor because of a lack of consistency, which was due, in part, to a lack of potency and a lack of knowledge regarding dosage, site of administration, and frequency of injections. However, a case study by Nauts et al. (1953) revealed the effectiveness of Coley’s toxins when these parameters were taken into consideration. Interest in bacterial products was revived by the experiments of Shwartzman and Michailovsky (1932) and of Duran-Reynals (1935) wherein they showed that bacterial filtrates of gram-negative organisms were effective in producing hemorrhagic necrosis of murine tumors.
