BR6 mouse mammary tumours were maintained by serial s.c. transplantation into female or castrated male syngeneic hosts. The tumours could be broadly classified according to their structure, and usually remained stable through many passages. Occasionally, sarcomatous changes were seen (64 out of 800

โฆ Synopsis
Transplants from the same C3H mouse mammary tumour have been used for radiobiological experiments with curative intent for more than 8 years. During that time, the rate of metastasis to the lungs has varied between 0 and 63% and an explanation has been sought for this change. The results of immunological assays showed no obvious pattern. An inverse relationship was found between tumour latency and metastasis.
