Body Defence Studied In Cancer Curb Fight By JOHN BARBOUR Associated Press Science Writer NEW YORK (AP)--The effort to enlist the body's own de- fencés against an invading dis- ease is perhaps the most active front today in the battle against cancer. A scattering of research reports has focussed fresh in- terest on this approach. One expert calls it "the most promising area of cancer re search today." Another, looking at recent experiments, finds there's "'a ray of light in a dark reom." If there is some hope that re- searchers may be working on some promising leads, it must be set against the background of a thousand disappointments of the past. In the last months there have Been some interesting varia- tions on the idea that in the immune processes of living creatures there is a way to de- feat cancer, just as virusse and bacteria are defeated. SOME DISAGREEMENT . There are a number of cur- tent reports--but researchers disagree on their ultimate value: In Detroit, researchers claim to-have created an experimental method linking human tumor cells to rabbit protein to prod a cancer patient's body into fighting his own cancer. But they say their work is strictly preliminary and needs more laboratory confirmation and re- finement. In Buffalo, N.Y., researchers have exchanged small trans- plants of tumor between cancer patients in hopes that each would develop usable defences against the tumor of the other. However, they have maintained silence on the final outcome of the experiment. .|supports much of the hope. talked about using the rabbits] to manufacture anti - cancer other scientists have questions| to ask about the method. | Although these reports have| ridden the crest of the recent) news, there have been countless| small advances in well-manned laboratories that have gradually accumulated the evidence that | All these lines of research |converge on the same mecha- Inism that helps you eventually |recover from a cold, or permits vaccination against a virus, or prevents a patient from borrow- ing a kidney from other humans when his own goes bad. | Indeed, this area of cancer| lresearch is closely tied to the| barrier that prevents individ- uals from exchanging organs in transplant operations.

Most believe the tumor cell is strange--but proving it is another matter. The cancer cell is a normal the recognizing and cancer as an intruder. fighting serum for human patients. But} Using immunity against die) ce ease is hardly new. By the time} most Canadian and United States children are 5, they have been immunized against small-| pox, polio and diptheria. The procedures are many. The human may be given a live, but weakened, polio virus. He responds by producing anti- bodies -- disease - fighting agents--against the virus. Even when he encounters more viru- lent polio viruses, the antibod- ies are effective against it. Sometimes, instead of live vir- uses, killed viruses or live but related viruses can be used to produce immunity. | The body has a spectrum of} disease-fighting agents. Anti- bodies flow freely in the blood stream, produced by certain cells. Then there are appar- ently other disease-fighters di-| rectly. associated with cells. Lymphocytes--a type of white blood cell--carry disease-fight- ing equipment. The body even has some specialized cells that actuallyg devour some foreign matter that invades. Antibodies themselves are specially designed bits of pro- tein which can fit onto foreign protein, neutralizing it. Foreign material that stimu- lates antibody production is cell running wild. Perhaps it is enough like a normal ceil that it doesn't awaken the body's de- fence mechanisms. | Or perhaps some cancer cells} jhave a way of subduing the) body's defence mechanisms. | Often a cancer patient dies of) pneumonis or other infection--| his body's resistance so lowered that he can't fight back.
