NMRI mice normally died 3 weeks after an intraperitoneal transplantation of 2 × 104 Ehrlich ascites tumour cells. If they were, however, injected intraperitoneally with about 380 pneumococci 18 h after tumour transplantation and if theinfection was cured with penicillin, almost 60’% of the animals failed to develop tumour. This result is highly significant (p = 0.00079).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
