## Abstract Five distinguishable stages of tail regeneration in the adult newt have been established. The stages are based on external morphological changes and internal histological characteristics rather than chronological age of the regenerate.
## Abstract Radioimmunoassay (RIA) procedures were used to determine whether or not insulin is present in the adult newt. The results show that measurable amounts of the hormone are present in samples ofpooled, fresh serum taken by cardiac puncture methods. We also found that there are no significa
## Abstract Cyclophosphamide (cytoxan), a clinical immunosuppressant, produced a marked, persistent leukopenia (> 40% reduction) in adult newts in contrast to a transient, milder leukopenia accompanying amputations without cytoxan treatments. In addition, cytoxan suppressed the formation of regener
