Replication of an avian myxovirus in tumor cell cultures obtained from effusions of mammary carcinoma patients.

In view of the possible use of viruses for the immunotherapy of breast cancer, the replication of a strain of fowl plaque virus was studied in the tumor cells of 11 mammary carcinoma patients with malignant effusions. The tumor cells were obtained by centrifugation on iodamide solutions, then cultured in vitro, and infected by a fowl plaque virus previously adapted to grow in a mammary carcinoma cell line. Virus multiplication was observed in all cases, a prerequisite for the use of autologous viral oncolysates for immunotherapy in mammary carcinoma patients.

Influence of a new relapse treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) on in vitro granulopoiesis.

Twelve AML patients in relapse were treated with cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C), VP 16-213, vincristine, and vinblastine (A-triple-V). For bone marrow (BM) evaluation, in vitro granulopoiesis by agar and liquid cultures was investigated. In 15 treatments, 12 complete remissions (CR) were observed. Three patients, treated with 2 A-triple-V cycles achieved CR twice. One to four months after treatment normal colony formation and cell differentiation was found in remission patients. Evidence of sustained recovery was obtained in sequential studies of BM cultures of patients in CR. These results indicate that-A-triple-V treatment does not irreversibly deplete normal myeloid progenitor cell population.
