Conflicts concerning the efficacy of both nonspecific and specific attempts at immunotherapy may be ascribed to different animal models utilizing tumors of different immunogenicity. The B16 mouse melanoma model was selected as the example of a spontaneously occurring neoplasm that is histocompatible with the host and has tumor-associated antigens. Attempts to alter tumor growth or survival with nonspecific active immunotherapy [BCG and Propionibacterium acnes] as well as with specific active immunotherapy [Vibrio cholerae neuramidase and mitomycin C treated tumor cells] were unsuccessful. Nonspecific active pre-immunization failed to alter tumor take or growth. Specific active immunotherapy with and without adjuvant decreased tumor take and prolonged host survival. The effects were very apparent at lower tumor cell inocula and became less apparent with increase in the tumor cell challenge.
