Abstract
From the spindle cell sarcoma originated from the great omentum in a patient, which was obtainable in a form of pure cultivation and was not contaminated with necrotic mass if any, watery extract was prepared, and injected intracutaneously into the patients suffering from. the malign neoplasma.
The cutaneous reaction was followed, and chiefly the induration estimated; its largeness at the end, of 24 and 48 hours after the injection was particularly noted.
The results were clear cut, that is, commonly the sarcoma patients gives. the positive reaction while the carcinoma patient does not.
The outcome thus harmonizes perfectly with that of Kaminer with the carcinoma extract. The present investigations deal with the sarcoma extract only, and Kaminer dealt with carcinoma only.
The present outcome shows, otherwise expressed, that it is possible to obtain from the sarcoma tissue the substance which brings about the skin test, described in the text, insarcoma patients only, but not in carcinoma cases. It is highly probable that our success was due to the purity of the sarcoma tissue utilized here.
