Tumourigenesis in Ovaries of Mice Transplanted to the Liver, Kidney and Adjacent Tissues

Nature volume 184, pages 916–917 (1959)Cite this article

Abstract

OVARIAN tumours, though rare in normal mice, occur with high frequency under a variety of experimental conditions: low doses of total body X-radiation1, transplantation to the spleen2, application of 9:10-dimethyl–l:2-benzanthracene to nearby skin3 return to normal site after a short sojourn in the spleen4, in mice hereditarily deficient with respect to reproductive function5, and in ovaries transplanted to the testes of intact mice6.
