FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ON AN EXPERIMENTALLY PRODUCED SARCOMA OF THE CHICKEN.

Numerous attempts have been made by us to separate from the cells of a tar sarcoma of the chicken (Chicken Tumor 9) a causative agent for the growth. Experiments with filtrates and desiccates injected as such or in combinations with embryonic tissues have all failed to give positive results. So too have injections of filtrates and desiccates into developing chick embryos failed to yield a response. The results confirm those of previous work with the tumor in this laboratory. The growth would appear to differ in a fundamental respect from all tumors of the fowl previously studied.
