Antitumor activity of Virulizin, a novel biological response modifier (BRM) in a panel of human pancreatic cancer and melanoma xenografts

To define the anticancer efficacy of Virulizin in vivo as a single agent or in combination with conventional drugs in human pancreatic tumor and melanoma xenografts. The therapeutic effect of Virulizin was evaluated in a series of human tumor xenografts in athymic nude mice. Virulizin had a high lev...
