The antitumor action of bovine seminal ribonuclease was evaluated with a quantitative assay based on the production of tumor foci in the spleens of mice injected with plasmacytoma cells. The antitumor action depended on the integrity of the catalytic site, and on the dimeric structure of the enzyme. A working hypothesis is proposed, based on these results, and on previous results obtained studying the antitumor action of seminal RNAase in vitro on cell cultures. According to this hypothesis, the antitumor action is based on the ability of seminal RNAase to interact at specific receptor sites on the tumor cell membrane, as well as on its RNA degrading ability.
