title: Comparative studies of neoplastic response to a single dose of nitroso compounds. 5. The effect of dimethylnitrosamine in Swiss, ASW/SN and A-strain mice.
abstract: The tumorigenic effect of dimethylnitrosamine given once at 5 different dose levels was compared in adult Swiss, ASW/SN and A-strain mice. Considering the overall tumour incidence, at the highest dose level an increase was found in Swiss and ASW/SN mice, but not in A-strain animals. However, the effect of treatment was unequivocal for lung neoplasms. The rate of carcinomas rose significantly in all 3 strains, although a clear dose response-relationship could be established only in Swiss and ASW/SN mice. A dose-dependent effect for adenomas was found solely in Swiss mice.
