Despite these drawbacks, the Memorial doctors would like to be able to give L-asparaginase in vastly bigger doses. In mice, small doses will temporarily suppress leukemia, and hundredfold-greater doses result in what seems to be a permanent cure. This, said Dr. Oettgen, raises the question whether massive doses of L-asparaginase, perhaps combined with other drug treatment, might actually cure one form of human leukemia...
Last week a team at the Merck Institute for Therapeutic Research reported that it has succeeded in doing this in mice and rabbits, and is ready to try to extend the method to man. Chief of the investigators is Dr. Maurice R. Hilleman, already famed for his work in developing a mumps vaccine (TIME, July 1, 1966) and Enders measles vaccine. The first of his group's reports appeared under the prestige imprint of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences...
When the researchers injected Hel-RNA into mice and then gave the animals a second injection of a normally fatal dose of an encephalitis virus, 73% of the animals survived, as against only 3% of unprotected mice. The score was still better when the RNA preparation was put into the animals' noses and they were exposed to a pneumonia virus: 90% survived, whereas every one of the unprotected comparison group of mice died...

Alone, neither of these had worked, but when they were combined in what turned out to be a multi-stranded RNA, the protective effect for infected mice was about the same as that conferred...
