✓ Since the development of a specific monoclonal antibody against the thymidine analogue bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR), many investigators have used intravenous infusion of BUdR to estimate the proliferative potential of human brain tumors. However, side effects such as the induction of cell mutation, latent virus promotion, or inhibition of cytodifferentiation cannot be ignored, and thus many workers hesitate to use it in patients, especially those with hepatic disease or of reproductive age. Furthermore, if BUdR remains in the deoxyribonucleic acid of tumor cells after injection, analysis of the effect of chemical and radiation therapy may not be evaluated correctly. In this report, in vitro BUdR labeling with an anti-BUdR antibody is compared with the in vivo methods described by previous authors. This method appears to be useful for determining the S-phase fraction of human brain tumor. It was more rapid, and was simple, safe, and reproducible as compared to the intravenous infusion method.

SUMMARY:Three types of papovaviruses (JC, BK, and SV40) have been isolated from man. All three are oncogenic in hamsters, cause frequent infection of man, and share a common T antigen. Augmentation of the expression of T antigen by in vitro cultivation of SV40-induced tumors of hamsters suggested that growing human brain tumors in vitro might provide an effective screening technique for the SV40 virus. In a series of human brain tumors examined in cryostat sections and in tissue culture, T antigen could not be demonstrated, suggesting that by this immunofluorescent technique SV40 was not implicated in the etiology of these tumors.

✓ Glucose utilization in vivo and hexokinase activity and mitochondrial oxygen consumption in vitro were measured in a series of human brain tumors. Several relatively slow-growing tumors appeared to have depressed electron-transport activities coupled with a compensatory elevated glucose utilization. These data suggest that a decrease in oxidative metabolism and a corresponding increase in glycolysis are not necessarily correlated with malignancy in certain human brain tumors.
