A cell wall specimen prepared from Streptoverticillium cinnamoneum, designated as P-CW, showed a marked antitumor activity towards Ehrlich and Meth A ascites tumors in mice whether given as a pre- or post-treatment. The intracellular levels of acid phosphatase, β-glucuronidase and lysozyme of peritoneal exudate cells in mice given P-CW i.p. were elevated as compared with those of the control group. Treatment of mice with P-CW also resulted in a significant increase in chemiluminescence due to the generation of active oxygen species in peritoneal exudate cells.
