Induction of Plasma-Cell Neoplasms and Fibrosarcomas in BALB/c Mice Carrying Diffusion Chambers.

Abstract

Seven plasma-cell neoplasms and 6 fibrosarcomas developed in strain BALB/c mice that carried diffusion chambers in the peritoneal cavity. The diffusion chambers contained mammary tumor tissue obtained from strain C3H mice with the milk agent. Five of the plasma-cell tumors and all of the sarcomas were successfully transplanted to strain BALB/c mice. The 2 plasma-cell tumors and the two sarcomas transplanted to C3H mice failed to grow.
