Sažetak
The growth of four murine transplantable tumours, Ehrlich ascites or solid tumour, an aplastic carcinoma, B-16 melanoma, and a thymoma, were suppressed in mice treated daily with insulin (2 IU). Since insulin increased the number of plaque-forming cells and the phagocytic activity of the liver and spleen cells, the retardation of the tumour growth was ascribed to immunological mechanisms.
