[The biological activity of chalone-like proteoglycans isolated from the spleen and thymus at various periods of ontogeny].

Abstract excerpt

Chalone-like proteoglycans from sheep and bovine thymus and spleen were shown to suppress cell proliferation in murine thymus or spleen. Their effect appeared to be organ-specific but not species-specific. Administration of the proteoglycans resulted in a decrease in the mitotic activity of thymus and spleen cells 24h (strain C57BL), three days (hybrids), four days (nude mice) or five days (highly cancerous...
