title: Autotransplantation of bovine ocular squamous cell carcinoma and effects on primary tumor growth.
abstract: Autologous transplantation of ocular squamous cell carcinoma was done in 7 Hereford cows in 17 trials. Three preparations of tumor were used in orthotopic transplantation to 5 sites on the eye and eyelid. None of the transplants was successful. However, in 2 of 5 cows given autografts of a pure, viable tumor cell suspension, marked regression of the primary tumor was observed after transplantation.
