Abstract
THE growth of a mouse sarcoma (Mal. sarcoma) produced originally by a derivative of 1: 2: 5: 6-dibenzanthracene1 when inoculated into the peritoneum of mice, is accompanied by various changes which resemble those produced by X-radiation2. Among these changes is a marked increase in bile secretion. This suggested the use of such bile: (a) in filtration experiments, as an addition to the material to be filtered, and (b) as a preliminary injection in order to damage the tissues at the site of a subsequent inoculation of filtrate.
