Abstract

Female AKR mice were randomly grouped at 8 weeks of age and treated every 2d week thereafter until 42 weeks of age with intraperitoneal injections of BCG or saline. BCG treatment increased the survival time but did not prevent the eventual onset of leukemia. The responses were dose related.
