LYMPHOID TUMOR TRANSFERS FROM XENOPUS LAEVIS LAEVIS TO ALIEN SUBSPECIES AND SPECIES, INCLUDING RANA PIPIENS.

Michael Balls

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

Summary The lymphosarcoma of Xenopus laevis laevis was found to be readily transferable to other Xenopus laevis subspecies, to another Xenopus species, and to other anuran amphibian species. Furthermore, the presence of spontaneous renal adenocarcinoma in Rana pipiens did not affect lymphosarcoma formation, since some Rana pipiens kidneys bore both the sarcoma and the carcinoma. These results are discussed in terms of our present knowledge of the two tumors.
