1. Tolerance of male skin isografts has been regularly produced in female mice of the C57B1 strain sublines 1, 4, and 6 during adult life by repeated injection of completely disrupted spleen cells derived from male donors. The tolerant state is long-lasting since such grafts have remained in place more than 9 months. 2. Prolonged survival of homotransplants of skin has regularly been produced in DBA/2 mice during adult life by repeated injections of completely disrupted spleen cells from Balb/C donors. When injections of disrupted spleen cell material are continued over a sufficiently long period, permanent acceptance of the skin homografts may be obtained between these strains. 3. Immunological tolerance across even the strong H-2 histocompatibility barrier was obtained in the neonatal period and during adult life by repeated injection of disrupted spleen cell preparations. The tolerant state has been revealed by both mammary adenocarcinoma and skin homografting across this strong histocompatibility barrier. 4. In contradistinction to the tolerant state produced by injection of intact spleen cells in neonatal animals or during adult life or that produced by parabiotic union, the tolerance produced by repeated injection of disrupted spleen cell preparations cannot be transferred to syngenic neonatal mice with spleen cells of the tolerant animal. 5. The implications of these findings in transplantation biology and in consideration of the basic nature of tolerance are discussed.

Since chronic neurogenic pain has been reported to affect biological characteristics of B16/F10 melanoma, the purpose of the study was to analyze concentrations of components of the NO-system in mice during the growth of transplantable B16/F10 melanoma combined with chronic neurogenic pain. Methods. The study included 64 female mice. Melanoma was transplanted under the skin of the back to animals of the main group 2 weeks after the bilateral sciatic nerve ligation. Levels of NOS-3, NOS-2, endothelin-1, L-arginine, citrulline, total nitrite and ADMA were determined by ELISA in the intact skin and in tumor tissues. Results. The study showed that the dynamics of the studied parameters differed in tumor growth alone and in combination with chronic pain. Stably increased levels of NO-synthases in the tumor and stably increased ADMA levels with their decrease by week 3 of the growth were registered in the tumor growth with pain. Conclusions. Chronic pain probably contributes to the development of immunological tolerance to tumor antigens in the skin. Conditions are formed that facilitate the survival of tumor cells and contribute to the further development of melanoma. The dynamics of the NO-system activity can stimulate neoangiogenesis and enhance tumor invasion. Changes in the ADMA inhibitor levels in the tumor growth combined with chronic pain may indicate the control of NO levels through the metabolic regulation of NO-synthase activity, thus providing increased melanoma invasiveness.
