Abstract
Summary
Cells from three Burkitt lym-phoma lines and three normal-derived human lymphoid lines were cultured in diffusion chambers implanted into mice. Cytoge-netic analysis was made on all these cell lines following treatment of the animals with cyclophosphamide. The Burkitt lymphoma cell lines were uniformly more sensitive to cyclophosphamide than the normal-derived cell lines, having a chromosome aberration incidence of 58-82% compared to 14-23% for the latter cell lines. Studies in tissue culture failed to reveal either the cytostatic effect of cyclophosphamide or an effect on chromosomes.
