Summary:A treatment for tumorous canines and a method of preparing, cultivating, and cryogenically preserving the pharmaceutical formulation used in the treatment. Canine lymphocytes are activated and expanded in the presence of a combination of anti-canine CD3 antibodies and interleukin-2 (IL-2) (preferably anti-canine CD3 antibodies and human interleukin-2 (human IL-2)) and administered to tumorous dogs.
