Changes in hemopoiesis of mice of the C3H strain following transplantation of Gardner lymphosarcoma and infection with LDH-virus. III. Blood proteins.
Inoculation of bone marrow and spleen cells of C3H/Sumice strain mice demonstrated that on the ninth day of growth of Gardner lymphosarcoma these tissues were invaded with tumor cells. The weights of mice with advanced tumors increased. Yet the deterioration of health status of mice is characterized by decreased food and water consumption, as well as by lower concentrations of proteins in mouse sera and plasma. The albumin fraction shows a remarkable drop. These changes could not be detected in tumor free mice following LDH-virus infection. The treatment with L-asparaginase influenced the manifestations of tumor growth, but not the effectivity of LDH-virus contaminating the tumor as demonstrated by the increased activity of lactate-dehydrogenase in the mouse sera.
