Abstract

After subcutaneous application of 0.5 mg 3,4-benzopyrene (BP) to Sprague-Dawley-rats on the 2nd day of life, 50% of the animals developed local fibrosarcomas after 250 +/- 70 days. Additional treatment with immunostimulating (BCG, albumin, vitamin A-acid) or immunodepressive agents (hydrocortisone, cyclophosphamide, methotrexat) which was started 6 days after birth and maintained throughout life, did not influence carcinogenesis with respect to tumor incidences and induction periods of tumors.
