Repeated intravenous administrations of oil-attached Nocardia rubra cell-wall skeleton (N. rubra-CWS) prevented the induction of lung cancer by intrabronchial instillations of 3-methylcholanthrene in rabbits. Amyloidosis was seen after giving 3-methylcholanthrene, and the incidence was higher in the N. rubra-CWS administered rabbits than in the controls.
