Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We have previously reported that the intraperitoneal injection of viable bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) reduces the incidence of tumor takes and the rate of tumor growth and also increases tumor regression rate and survival in C3H/HeN mice challenged with the syngeneic MBT-2 bladder cancer. We have now investigated the immunoprophylactic effect of BCG and other biological response modifiers. Groups of 12 to 15 female C3H/HeN mice were challenged with 5 × 10 5 MBT-2 viable cells and treated with BCG, poly I:C, tilorone, levamisole or a combination of these agents. Appropriate controls were included in each experiment. In this study we confirmed previous findings that BCG alone is effective in prophylaxis and can also decrease the rate of tumor growth in those animals not protected against tumor takes. Both i.p. levamisole and oral tilorone lacked activity against the MBT-2 tumor. A single i.p. injection of poly I:C was also ineffective although its repeated administration reduced the rate of tumor growth and induced a significant number of tumor regressions. Combined therapy of BCG with either levamisole or tilorone offered no therapeutic advantage over BCG alone. Heat-inactivated BCG also failed to induce anti-tumor activity in C3H/HeN mice challenged with MBT-2 cells. These results indicate that live BCG remains the most active immunoprophylactic and immunotherapeutic agent against the MBT-2 murine bladder cancer. Furthermore, the anti-tumor effect of viable BCG is not potentiated further by the addition of other immune modulating agents.
