[Immunologic assessment and acoustic "stressing situation" in an experimental system BALB/c mice, the Tsc-3T3 tumor].

Abstract

Previous results in Hamsters showed enhancement of tumor takes in animals exposed to acoustic aggression. Since this phenomenon could be due to immunodepression, we investigated whether this was the case in a better defined system of inbred BALB/c Mice. The results show that in these conditions, the tumor graft could not transgress a minor histocompatibility antigen nor decrease the protective effects of polyoma virus against tumor challenge and that all the immune tests investigated were unaltered.
