Abstract
Three strains of germ-free rats were examined for evidence of spontaneous neoplasms. None was observed in germ-free rats derived from Fischer and Sprague-Dawley stock. Twenty-five tumors were recorded in germ-free rodents of Wistar strain origin, the majority of which involved the mammary gland.Keywords
