Levamisole and tetramisole had no antitumor effect against the following transplantable syngeneic murine tumors: L1210 leukemia, P388 leukemia, B16 melanoma, Madison 109 lung tumor, and Lewis lung carcinoma. In the Lewis lung carcinoma system there was no effect on primary tumor growth, metastasis, or survival. Tetramisole had a variable effect on the growth of rhabdomyosarcomas and the survival of BALB/c mice following intramuscular inoculation of Moloney sarcoma virus. In two experiments treatment with tetramisole either prior to or following inoculation of Moloney sarcoma virus increased the number of mice with tumor regression as opposed to progressive tumor growth, incrneased the number of long-term survivors, and prolonged the lifespan of mice that died of tumor. In two further tests neither levamisole nor tetramisole had an effect in this system. In mice immunosuppressed with cyclophosphamide prior to virus inoculation, there was not effect of treatment with levamisole or tetramisole.

The fat composition of the diet fed to C57BL/6J mice influenced the effect of Levamisol on the growth and spread of LLT. The timing of feeding of different diets as well as of the administration of Levamisol in relation to tumor transplantation was of importance. The tumor-suppressive effect of Levamisol given on day 9 was counteracted by a diet containing 2% soy oil instead of animal fat and given from day 1. Levamisol given on day 1 counteracted the facilitation of tumor growth and spread by the soy oil diet given from day 9. The soy oil diet was shown to suppress the immune response to SRBC. We conclude that standardization of the laboratory diets is necessary.
