title: Resistance to a transplantable rat mammary tumor (DMBA 8BT) after pre-treatment with syngeneic fetal cells.
abstract: Mid-term syngeneic fetal cells, injected according to an optimal schedule, protect female Fischer 344 rats against a transplantable mammary tumor (DMBA 8BT). This protection is complete against an inoculum of up to 5 x 10(5) cells, an amount which leads to a 100% tumor take without pre-treatment. Multiparity does not protect against this tumor model.
