Leucemia Cutis

Transmissible Lymphoid Leucemia of Mice

Frequent attempts to transmit leucemia in mammals, reviewed by Opie (1), have been made without success, until recently Snijders (2) transmitted lymphoid leucemia of guinea pigs. By intraperitoneal inoculations of blood or emulsions of organs, Snijders reproduced leucemia in 58 successive generations. The majority of the guinea pigs successfully inoculated developed leucemia, the rest, aleucemi...

Studies on Transmissible Lymphoid Leucemia of Mice

Lymphoid leucemia of the mouse is readily transmitted by intravenous inoculations. The majority of the mice inoculated successfully develop leucemic, a smaller number of them, aleucemic lymphadenosis. The data presented favor the view that leucemic and aleucemic lymphadenosis are essentially the same condition. Leucemia produced by transmission is preceded by an aleucemic stage, in which the ly...
