Transplantable adenocarcinomas from color-rectal tumors induced by infusion of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in ACI/N rats.
Two transplantable strains of adenocarcinoma were established from the carcinomas of the colon and rectum induced by infusion of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in inbred ACI/N rats, The tumors are solid type, not converted to ascite form yet, either papillary or tubulo-papillary adenocarcinomas, and particularly grow slowly, showing 2 to 4 months of survival in animals transplanted subcutaneously. Besides histological resemblance of the tumors to human adenocarcinoma of the large intestine, marked mucin production in tumor was noted in one of these strains.
