Thirty-two horses and 3 ponies had neoplasia involving the thoracic cavity. Lymphosarcoma of the thorax was found in 19 (54.2%) of the equids. The other 16 equids had metastatic adenocarcinoma (7 horses; 20%), metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (5 equids; 14.3%), metastatic hemangiosarcoma (3 equids; 8.6%) or undifferentiated sarcoma (1 horse; 2.9%). Thoracic neoplasia was diagnosed before death in 15 equids (42.9%).
The antitumor effect of two purified preparations of protein A obtained from Staphylococcus aureus strain Cowan 1 or the mutant strain A676 was investigated. This study using different doses of SpA (5 or 10 mg/animal) i.p. administered was performed in lymphosarcoma bearing rats at certain intervals of time after tumor transplantation. The treatment with SpA deriving from A676 strain which was started at the same time with the tumor transplantation led to a significant increase in the latency period of tumor growth and the prolongation of survival time of tumor bearing rats. Attempts to use a higher dose of SpA and also a smaller tumor inoculum did not improve the results with regard to inhibition of lymphosarcoma growth in inbred R rats.

10-Chloro-5-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-7H-indolo [2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-one hydrochloride (CIQ) was shown to exert significant antitumor activity against the Ehrlich carcinoma and sarcoma 180 transplantable tumors in mice by the intraperitoneal (ip) or oral (po) routes and when incorporated into diet. A solid tumor induced in BALB/c mice by the subcutaneous (sc) implantation of nonproducer murine sarcoma virus-transformed BALB/3T3 cells was also inhibited by CIQ after ip or po treatment but there was no effect against leukemia L1210 ascites or a transplantable murine renal adenocarcinoma. When tested in rats, CIQ significantly reduced the growth of Flexner-Jobling carcinoma, Murphy-Sturm lymphosarcoma and Walker 256 carcinosarcoma when administered by the ip or po routes. Pretreatment, but not posttreatment, with CIQ slightly inhibited the humoral antibody response of mice to sheep red blood cells. CIQ therefore differs from immunosuppressive agents such as imuran, methotrexate, cytosine arabinoside, or 6-mercaptopurine which affect the antibody response of mice to sheep erythrocytes when administered after immunization.

Immunoreactive lysozyme was readily detectable in canine histiocytic disorders including systemic histiocytosis, malignant histiocytosis and granulomatous panniculitis. Lysozyme was less reliable as a histiocytic marker in cutaneous histiocytoma; forty percent of these tumors were negative for lysozyme expression. The marked heterogeneity in lysozyme expression in cutaneous histiocytoma may indicate that a proportion of these tumors show relatively primitive histiocytic differentiation and do not express lysozyme. Alternatively, this same proportion may exhibit a phenotype akin to cutaneous Langerhans cells which do not contain lysozyme. Lysozyme was not detectable in the tumor cells in lymphomatoid granulomatosis, atypical cutaneous histiocytoma, and histiocytic lymphosarcoma. Other evidence that these three disorders do not represent true histiocytic proliferative disorders is discussed.
The BALB/c murine endogenous xenotropic leukemia virus pseudotype of m1 Moloney sarcoma virus [m1MSV(B-MuX)] was used to productively transform diploid Japanese quail embryo cells. The majority of newly hatched quail inoculated with m1MSV(B-MuX)-transformed quail embryo fibroblast cells rapidly developed tumors which were predominantly locally invasive fibrosarcomas, but metastases were observed in two birds. In two tumor-bearing quail, lymphosarcomas were observed in conjunction with fibrosarcomas. Quail inoculated with m1MSV(B-MuX) virus or quail embryo fibroblast cells infected with helper leukemia virus did not develop tumors. A cell culture derived from one quail tumor was shown to be oncogenic in newly hatched quail. Viruses produced by m1MSV(B-MuX)-infected quail cells or quail tumors had envelope properties of BALB-derived murine xenotropic leukemia virus as measured by host range, interference, and neutralization. Virus structural antigens, proteins with molecular weights of 30,000 and 70,000, were detected in tumors and tumor-derived cell lines by immunofluorescence and gel diffusion. Sera from tumored quail had high titers of type-specific BALB-derived murine xenotropic leukemia virus antibodies as determined by neutralization and immunoprecipitation. Antibodies to the putative m1 Moloney sarcoma virus mos gene product were not detected in sera from tumored or regressor quail.
