چکیده

We have recently reported (8) a comparative study of the effects of chemotherapeutic agents in spontaneous mammary tumors of mice and in firstand second-generation transplants of these tumors. In these studies Z backcross (ZBC) mice were employed as the recipients for the trans plants. It was found that the growth of the spon taneous tumors per se was not inhibited by four of the five agents which had been most effective in inhibiting the growth of the transplants, nor was the survival time of the spontaneous tumor-bear ing mice increased in any instance. The fifth com pound did inhibit the growth of the spontaneous tumors in two of the three trials, but survival time was not increased. We were cognizant that the greater susceptibility of the transplants could, in theory, have been due to some immunogenetic influence of the backcross hosts. It therefore seemed worth while to determine whether similar chemotherapeutic responses could be obtained with transplants growing in the inbred strain of origin, that is, with conditions under which tumors and hosts could in theory be considered genically identical. We have also previously reported chemothera peutic assays with 26 agents in firstand secondgeneration transplants (7). In those studies trans plantations of spontaneous tumors arising in A, C (Bagg albino), or Z (Bittner C3H) strain mice were made respectively into ABC, CBC, or ZBC mice. No definitive data were offered regarding the com parative responses of the transplanted tumors which had originated in different strains of mice. Such comparisons will be presented herein.

Further studies of chemotherapeutic agents in spontaneous mammary adenocarcinomas of mice and in transplants of recent origin.

We have demonstrated that spontaneous mam mary adenocarcinomas in mice are resistant to chemotherapeutic agents that are effective inhibi tors of firstand second-generation transplants of the same tumors (12, 14). In the present work we have continued the comparative study with addi tional compounds selected either on the basis of reports by other workers of high activity against one or more ki...

Detection of Mouse Cytomegalovirus in Adenocarcinoma Bearing Razi/A Mice: Molecular and Pathological Studies

Despite a lot of research, the etiology and progression of breast cancer remain incompletely understood. Recently, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was reported as a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to know whether breast cancer could be caused by cytomegalovirus or not? In this experiment seventeen samples of RAZI/A mice with spontaneous breast cancer were being gathered fr...

Acquisition of Heightened Resistance and Susceptibility to Spontaneous Mouse Mammary Carcinomas in the Original Host.

Experiments were designed to answer the following question: Can mice acquire heightened reactivity of an immunological nature to their own spontaneous mammary neoplasms? Twenty-five spontaneous mammary carcinomas, arising from transplanted C3H/f/ Crgl nodule outgrowth, were removed and subsequently retransplanted into their original C3H/Crgl/2 hosts. At the same time, the tumors were transplant...

Assay of spontaneous and transplanted mammary tumors for the mammary tumor agent.

The mammary tumor agent, one of the primary causes of mammary cancer in mice (5, 6), has the characteristics of an infectious agent or virus. The presence of the agent in infected hosts may be demonstrated by making extracts of either normal or cancerous tissues and injecting these into susceptible animals which do not carry the agent. It has been assumed that the percentage of mice developing ...
