[Cytogenetic characteristics of the cells of different organs in AKR mice during the development of transplanted lympholeukemia].
The process of cell generalization of lymphatic leukemia transplanted clone of AKR mice was studied by the routine and differential methods of metaphase chromosome staining. In 99.5% cases, the cells have an additional small chromosome specific for this type of leukemia, the chromosome being comparable in size with 18-19 pairs of chromosomes of mouse karyotype. Generalization process within 7 days' experiment (from the moment of transplantation up to the moment of animals' death from lymphatic leukemia) appeared to be slower in thymus and bone marrow of AKR mice than in spleen, lymphatic nodes and liver of the same animals with nearly the same generalization rate. A change in the frequency of marked leukemic cells in various organs at different time intervals after transplantation of lymphatic leukemia correlated with intensive cell division of an undulating character in all organs. The data obtained show that hyperdiploid cells carrying the specific additional small chromosome are responsible for the generalization process, this chromosome being also present in spontaneous strain of AKR mice, from which this clone was obtained.
