Abstract
Experiments on inbred and noninbred mice showed thymalin to potentiate the therapeutic effect of cytostatic drugs. Thymalin treatment was followed by inhibition of tumor growth and dissemination, increase in the animal's life span and amelioration of antitumor drug-induced immunodepression.
