Abstract
MANY recent reports record that certain leukæmias and malignant lymphomas can be transmitted to newly born mice using cell-free extracts of tumour tissues1,2. Under certain conditions, cell-free extracts of leukæmic organs also produced parotid gland tumours, sarcomas and other neoplasms3–5. Tissue culture extracts and extracts of tumour tissues6–10 have given rise to leukæmias and other tumours in rats and hamsters, following injection into the newly born animal.
