Can the infection, caused by Chlamydia psittaci, produce the stimulation of the growth of a malignant tumor: studying by using t-LASCA technique on animal model

In this report, the influence of C. psittaci (CP) antigens on the process of a development of a malignant solid tumor in the inbred Wistar white rats in experimental conditions has been successfully studied. Velocity of growing of a tumor has been estimated by s-LASCA technique. Measurement of statement of a tumor has been performed daily after each of three serial injections of the CP specific ornithosis antigen derived from two different CP strains, the Rostinovo-70 and the АМК. Single injection solutions were administered in a volume of 1 ml. We found, that both antigens could initiate the marked decrease of the growth of malignant tumors in the animal model used.
