## Abstract Neoplastic L fibroblasts grown in isolated cultures are highly resistant to the toxic effects of carcinogenic hydrocarbons. However, these cells become very sensitive to the toxic effect of 7,12‐dimethylbenz‐α‐anthracene (DMBA) if they are grown on the surface of the monolayer of normal
## Abstract 7,12‐Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and three of its metabolites were tested for carcinogenic activity by in vitro incubation with murine pulmonary tissue for 2 days followed by implantation of the explants into isologous mice. 7‐Hydroxymethyl‐12‐methylbenz(a) anthracene and 12‐hydroxymethyl
## Abstract The influence of age at time of DMBA administration on (l) the histopathogenesis and site of mammary tumor origin and (2) the precancerous nature of DMBA‐induced mammary dysplasias was examined in Lewis rats between 25 and 200 days of age. Rats were killed at various times after carcino
The presence of ER in DMBA-tumors was demonstrated by the use of dextrancharcoal assay, sephadex chromatography, sucrose gradient sedimentation, and organ culture techniques. It was found that tumors have binding sites ranging from 10-" to 10-l' moles/mg protein, and a dissociation constant of ER 10
