Abstract
WHEN an in vitro incubation system for amino-acid incorporation and protein synthesis by Ehrlich ascites tumour cells (unpublished results) was in development there was a need to find a natural environmental supply of amino-acids on which a synthetic medium could be based. For this reason the amino-acids of the ascitic fluid around the cells, the plasma of mice bearing ascitic tumour and the plasma of normal controls were analysed. The results give an added insight into the protein nutritional state of the tumour-bearing mouse.
