Abstract
Abstract A Sarcoma 180 tumor growth inhibiting glycoprotein material produced extracellularly from Candida albicans is provided. The inhibitor material is effective to arrest Sarcoma 180 tumor angiogenesis thereby causing tumor regression. The preferred inhibitor material is an extracellular glycoprotein produced from Candida albicans SA#1 (CBS 5736) cultured in a glucose containing chemical medium with a filtrate of the growth medium precipitated with ethanol. Dosage innoculations of the precipitate into the peritoneal cavities of Sarcoma 180 tumor infected mice effect substantial tumor regression.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
The method of making a Sarcoma 180 tumor growth inhibitor which comprises culturing Candida albicans SA#1 (CBS 5736) microorganism in a chemical medium containing glucose for about 30 days at about 30° C., centrifuging the resulting growth medium, discarding the cells, precipitating the remaining filtrate with ethanol, and recovering the resulting glycoprotein of the precipitate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
55 words
The method of making a Sarcoma 180 tumor growth inhibitor which comprises culturing Candida albicans SA#1 (CBS 5736) microorganism in a chemical medium containing glucose for about 30 days at about 30° C., centrifuging the resulting growth medium, discarding the cells, precipitating the remaining filtrate with ethanol, and recovering the resulting glycoprotein of the precipitate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the step of precipitating the filtrate with ethanol is conducted with 95% ethanol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the chemical medium is composed of: CaCl 2 .2H 2 O--0.1 g NaCl--0.1 g MgSO 4 .7H 2 O--0.4 g K 2 HPO 4 --1.0 g (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 --3.5 g glucose--40.0 g per liter of distilled water.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 1 including the step of adding biotin to the medium.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The sarcoma 180 tumor growth inhibitor made by the method of claim 1.
