title: The induction of adenomata in mouse lung homografts by chemical carcinogens.
abstract: Implants of lung from 18-day-old embryo BALB/c mice of an inbred strain were exposed to 3,4-benz(a)pyrene or 1,2,5,6-dibenzanthracene and introduced subcutaneously into 6-week-old mice of the same strain. Lung adenomata developed within 16 weeks.There was no evidence of an effect of either chemical carcinogen on the subcutaneous tissue of the host animal.
