Tissue Changes in Experimental Mice Treated with Pentose Nucleotides

Abstract

TISSUE changes in mice injected with a commercial mixture of the four pentose nucleotides of ribonucleic acid have been previously described1. Observations on normal and tumour-bearing mice treated with guanylic, adenylic, cytidylic and uridylic acids have now shown changes in the tissues and blood which are characteristic of the individual nucleotides.
