Abstract
The formation of lung colonies by i.v. injected Lewis lung-tumour cells in syngeneic recipients was greatly enhanced by prior treatment of the mice with cyclophosphamide. The lung-cloning efficiency was linearly related to cyclophosphamide dose and the optimum time of treatment was 2-4 days before the injection of tumour cells. The resulting lung colonies had a similar size distribution to colonies in untreated recipients. Bleomycin, local thoraric irradiation and whole-body irradiation were much less effective in enhancing the lung-cloning efficiency. Cyclophosphamide also enhanced the take probability of i.m. implanted tumour cells.Entities:
