COMPARISON OF THE REDUCING POWER OF SOME TYPICAL TRANSPLANTABLE TUMORS AND OF TUMORS PRODUCED BY FILTERABLE VIRUSES : WITH AN APPENDIX ON THE METABOLISM OF INFECTIOUS MYXOMA OF THE RABBIT.
1. The tissues of Rous chicken sarcoma and of the infectious myxoma of the rabbit do not possess the oxidation-reduction enzyme succinodehydrogenase, which is present in normal tissues and in transplantable tumors. 2. Filterable virus diseases (rabbit Virus III, rabbit neurovaccine, rabbit herpes, fowl-pox) produce in the tissues affected by them a partial inhibition of succinodehydrogenase.
