Abstract
I HAVE already discussed the effect of liver extracts on the biological characteristics of spontaneous tumours in C3H/St mice. These effects were obtained by exposing the offspring of a tumour-bearing mother to a parenteral injection of a specially prepared liver extract. In other words, the extract was injected into a pregnant mouse and the ensuing offspring did not develop spontaneous tumours of mammary gland origin (adenocarcinoma) for several months; this is a striking effect on the characteristics of cancer2.
