Abstract
Experiments were designed to demonstrate the synergism of low dose cyclophosphamide (CY), (15 mg/kg or 45 mg/M2) in combination with 5-aza-2'deoxycytidine (DAC). This dose of CY increased the cytotoxic response to DAC on L1210 tumor in mice by an additional 4 logs of L1210 cell kill or an approximate doubling of the response to DAC alone. These data support the hypothesis that CY at this low dose selectively inhibits suppressor t-cells which normally function to prevent the full cytotoxic potential of DAC from being realized.
