Abstract
IN a previous communication Buttle, Eperon and Meiizies1 reported that injections of suspensions of human embryonic tissues into weanling rats prevented the growth of the transplantable human tumour HS.l when the animals were challenged 7 days later with tumour and then conditioned with cortisone. This communication reports similar experiments undertaken to study the inhibition of transplantable mouse tumours by using mouse embryonic tissue.
