In this experiment, we examined the the effect of Laetrile Oil to the immune system and tried to disclose the anti-cancer mechanism of this. The result is listed as below. 1. After per-os, sub-cutaneous and into the peritoneal injection of Laetrile Oil to the SPF mice, the LD50 is above 5000mg/kg at even group. 2. Mean survival days of mice treated with laetril oil, after S-180 cells transplantation into the peritoneal cavity decreases 1.5 days(-6.8%) compared with the Mean survival days of the control group(22days.) 3. Effects of laetril oil on natural killer cell activity at Effector/Target Cell Ratio with 100:1, 50:1, 10:1 into methotrexate-pretreated mice is like this.: Compared with $29.22\pm12.7\%$ Cytotoxicity of the control group, sample group's Cytotoxicity had $38.83{\pm}12.5%$ of meaningful acrease. At 100:1 Effecr/Target Cell Ratio. At 50:1 Effector/Target Cell Ratio, control group has $20.02{\pm}9.6%$ Cytotoxiciy and sample group had $31.53{\pm}13.4%$ Cytotoxicity. At 25:1 Effector/Target Cell Ratio control group has $13.60{\pm}6.6%$ Cytotoxicity and sample group had $20.81{\pm}9.8%$ Cytotoxicity According to the above results, the Laetrile Oil represents nontotoxic to a SPF mice. non-effective to transplantable Sarcoma 180 tumors, and activaion in NK cell activity.
