Description
Progress is reported on research with mice in regard to the following studies: effects of butylated hydroxytoluene, diethylnitrosamine, and x rays during tumorigenesis; late somatic effects of ionizing radiation as a function of dose; resistance of germfree athymic mice to hydrocarbon skin carcinogenesis; metabolism of 7,12-dimethylbenz [a] anthracene in skin homogenates; flow microfluorometric analysis of cells infected with murine leukemia; biological role of ether lipids in growth and neoplasia; changes in mitotic index of megakaryocytes after acute thrombocytopenia; uptake of RNA by cultured embryonic cells, and others. Studies were also conducted on soybean lectins in vivo; development of tolerance in hamsters to lethal doses of an oxidant air pollutant; use of immune guinea pigs for study of cellular immune competence; and isolation of fetal antigens in human leukemia
