Abstract
Summary
Ammonium sulfate extracts of Mercenaria mercenaria were prepared and partially purified by Sephadex® G-25 column chromatography. This extract was tested for inhibition of murine leukemias induced by Moloney and Friend viruses. The extract prolonged the mean survival time in animals inoculated with Moloney virus transplantable leukemia. The extract also inhibited the splenomegalic response in animals infected with Friend virus, but did not extend longevity of this latter group.
