Aim: To study the activity of antitumor immunity effectors and to analyze possible mechanisms of peritoneal Mph M1/M2 repolarization of Balb/c mice under the influence of lectin from B. subtilis IMV B-7724 in the dynamics of the model tumor growth.
Materials And Methods: Studies were performed on Balb/c mice; Ehrlich adenocarcinoma (АСЕ) was used as an experimental tumor.
Aim: To study the antitumor and antimetastatic effects of B. subtilis IMV B-7724 lectin used in neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings in vivo.
Materials And Methods: Studies were performed on C57Bl/6J mice; Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) was used as an experimental tumor.
Aim: To assess the functional state of macrophages based on various manifestations of their activity at the different stages of metastatic tumor growth in C57Bl mice.
Materials And Methods: On days 7, 14, 21 and 28 after Lewis lung carcinoma transplantation to C57Bl mice, macrophages from various anatomic sites were isolated and tested on their cytotoxicity, metabolic activity, NO production and arginase activity.
Results: In the populations of peritoneal and splenic macrophages, on days 7 and 21 of tumor growth antitumor (M1) cells prevailed while on days 14 and 28 tumor-promoting (M2) macrophages predominated.
Background: The impact of growing tumor on polarization and functions of tumor-associated macrophages is well known while its influence on residential macrophages occupying different anatomical niches reminds to be elucidated.
Aim: To study changes in polarization and functions of macrophages isolated from discrete anatomical niches in tumor-bearing mice at different stages of tumor growth.
Materials And Methods: Ehrlich carcinoma was transplanted intramuscularly to Balb/c male mice.
Aim: To investigate the effect of chicken embryo proteins (CEP) as a prototype of xenogeneic vaccine on immune reactions in mice immunized after Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) surgical removal.
Materials And Methods: C57Bl male mice were immunized on days 1, 8, and 15 after surgical removal of LLC. The immune response was assessed on days 7, 14, 21 and 28 after tumor resection.
