Abstract
GONADAL tissue of rats, soaked in vitro in media containing glycerol, can be subjected to very low temperatures without losing its capacity to form an endocrinologically active graft1. This observation has made possible the extension to normal tissues of work on the temperature relations of radiation effects which has hitherto been restricted to small ranges of temperatures, or, so far as mammalian material is concerned, to certain tumour cells2.
