RESUMO
Mycobacterial ribonucleic acid (RNA) and cell wall skeleton fraction isolated from H37Ra caused P-815 mastocytoma regression in DBA/2 mice provided the animals were presensitized with freshly harvested living H37Ra cells. In the absence of presensitization, only the RNA fraction inhibited. Cell wall skeleton fraction, under these conditions, stimulated tumor growth. Cell wall lipids (from H37Ra) added to H37Ra cell wall skeleton fraction did not increase the inhibitory activity of cell wall skeleton fraction alone. Mycobacterial RNA appeared to be an effective inhibitor of P-815 mastocytoma metastases as shown by (i) the inhibition of a second footpad lesion distant from the one treated and (ii) increase in survival time.
