Effect of Horse Anti-Human Cancer Serum on Malignant and Normal Human Cells

Abstract
Anti-tumor serum was produced in a horse by repeated injection of pooled human cancer tissue. This serum was treated in order to neutralize the antibodies to normal human plasma constituents. Treated serum was tested in tissue culture according to Pulvertaft''s method for biological effects on freshly-isolated human tumor cells, as well as on normal cells. As a whole, the experiments showed that cervical cancer cells freshly isolated from patients are more sensitive to antibodies to pooled human cancer tissue than freshly-isolated normal cells from the vagina and endometrium.
