RNA obtained from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, yeast, rice bran, and soy bean, and derivatives of RNA, as well as their complexes formed with some basic polymers, were examined to evaluate the effectiveness in inhibiting tumors. RNA complexes formed with a certain basic polymer were effective to some extent. By means of the pre‐inoculation of tumor cells properly treated with such an RNA complex, the incidence of the tumor was inhibited completely in the challenge inoculation. It could be concluded that the yeast RNA as well as the Ehr. RNA was as effective as the RNA moiety composing the complex.
