Abstract
A reticulum cell sarconia which metastasizes preferentially to the spleens of inbred C~3~ H mice has been studied. Placement of tumor‐bearing animals in parabiosis with normal animals was followed by the development of gross metastases limited to the spleen in 100% of the normal animals. The pattern of metastases observed when a tumor‐bearing animal was placed in parabiosis with a splenectomized animal is described. The splenotrophic tendencies of this tumor and its ability to metastasize selectively across a parabiotic union provide a model for investigation of the role of immunity and humoral factors in tumor metastases.
