title: [Morphological and cytochemical characteristics of spontaneous hemoblastoses in AKR mice].
abstract: Spontaneous hemoblastoses of AKR mice are widely used in experimental oncology and hematology. To study their morphological characteristics, 500 AKR mice were used. Of these, 400 animals were followed up throughout their lives. Ten animals were sacrificed monthly out of the group of 100 rats. All the animals which died or were sacrificed were autopsied and subjected to cytological and histological studies. Besides, 36 animals with hemoblastoses were examined cytochemically for the activity of acid and alkaline phosphatases, peroxidase and nonspecific esterase and glycogen. Analysis of the data obtained suggests that hemoblastoses of AKR mice are the generalized forms of lymphosarcoma, characterized by a significant degree of cytochemical and cytological heterogeneity.
