Abstract
It has been known for many years that various agents including oleic acid, BCG, and zymosan, which are capable of causing hyperplasia of the reticulo-endothelial system, also have the effect of retarding the growth of some tumours as well as accelerating homograft rejection (Murphy, 1924; Old et al., 1961; Weiss et al., 1961). Subsequently Halpern et al. (1963) and Smith and Woodruff (1968) showed a similar effect with Corynebacterium parvum.
