Abstract
Summary
Thymic lymphomas were induced in 60% of C57BL mice fed with 7, 12-dimethylbenz (a) anthracene dissolved in polyethylene glycol 400, the mean latent period from the start of the DMBA feedings being 176 days. Three series of cell-free filtrates prepared from the DMBA-induced lymphomas were leukemogenic, producing 15-27% lymphomas in the tested mice. Serial cell-free passages of the original filtrate-induced lymphomas revealed a similar leukemogenic activity of 10-30%.
