title: ESR study of development of RFM/Un murine myeloid leukaemia.
abstract: The blood, spleen and liver of RFM/Un mice were examined by means of electron spin resonance (ESR) throughout the course of myeloid leukaemia induced by i.v. injection of leukaemic spleen cells. Marked changes in the concentration of iron transferrin and caeruloplasmin were observed in the blood 1 day after injection. As the disease progressed, changes occurred in the concentrations of the ascorbyl radical and of paramagnetic metal complexes in both spleen and liver. These changes are compared with those induced in RF/J mice injected with normal and leukaemic spleen cells from RFM/Un mice.
