[Tissue-specific inhibition of cellular proliferation in Ehrlich ascites tumor].

The extract of cells of ascitic Ehrlich's tumour (chaloun) and its cell-free fluid produced a marked inhibitory action on the cell proliferation of this tumour four hours after the administration. The effect is tissue-specific, more pronounced in the extract and depends on the dose of the antigen. Eight hours after the extract or the cell-free fluid administration the mitotic activity in the tumour proved to increase in comparison with control; this indicated the presence of a short-lived chaloun action on the G2-phase of the mitotic cycle and synchronization of cell division.
