Abstract
Landschütz tumour cells in the ascitic form injected subcutaneously into BALB/c or ICR mice produce solid tumours which grow progressively in most ICR mice but regress in nearly all BALB/c mice. Solid tumours in the peritoneal wall (produced by intraperitoneal inoculation of ascitic cells and treatment with normal serum) grew in both strains, but were more invasive in ICR mice. Surgical interference in BALB/c mice with these tumours, allowing adhesion of tumour to skin or subcutaneous fascia, resulted in cessation of tumour growth or regression.
