Abstract
MURINE leukaemia L5178Y is a lymphoblastic leukaemia cell line originally described by Law arising as a spontaneous tumour (personal communication). The cell line has been maintained as an ascites tumour in DBA/2 female mice by serial intraperitoneal transplantation of 20–30 million cells every 5–7 days. The average life span of the host is 10 days. The tumour also grows exponentially in vitro with a doubling time of approximately 12 h1.
