Primary human breast carcinomas transplantable in the nude mouse.
Of 19 primary human breast carcinomas implanted into noninbred female nude mice, 3 produced transplantable tumors. Membrane components specific for human mammary epithelial cells were demonstrated in the cells from heterotransplants even after four or five passages in nude mice.
