title: A simple cell-suspension method for transplantation of V2 carcinoma.
abstract: A simple and rapid method for the preparation of an essentially monodispersed cell suspension from the rabbit V2 carcinoma, suitable for either large or small amounts of tumor tissue, did not require specialized equipment and yielded relatively large numbers of viable cells. Cell suspensions prepared by this method could be used to approximate a dose-response curve relating the percentage of tumor takes to the number of cells inoculated and could allow quantitative correlations not possible when macroscopic tumor fragments are used for implantation. The method, or slight modifications of it, should prove suitable for most tissues with a significant connective tissue component.
