Electrophoretic Study of the Serum Proteins of Normal and “Lymphoid Tumours”-bearing Xenopus

Nature volume 221, pages 264–265 (1969)Cite this article

Abstract

THE “lymphoid tumour” of the amphibian Xenopus laevis was described in 1962 (ref. 1). It is characterized by foci of infiltrating tumoral cells, chiefly in the liver, spleen and kidneys1,2. The disease can be transmitted to apparently healthy young and adult isologous and homologous Xenopus by tissue transplantation2,4 and by cell-free filtrates2,5,6.
