The nonspecific suppressor activity of bone marrow cells (BMC) and spleen cells (SC) of C57B1/6 mice was studied at 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced carcinogenesis. It is established that in the latent period of the tumour development and with its appearance the suppressor activity of BMC decreases, while SC-increases. The activity of the BMC suppressor factor which is determined by the inhibition of proliferation of mastocytoma P-815 cells in vitro did not change significantly.
