[Study of chromosome characteristics of artificially-induced ascite tumors].
Some ascite tumours have been induced in rat by intraperitoneal injection of RadLV and in mouse by intraperitoneal injection of RadLV, or of protozoa such as Trypanosoma brucei and Toxoplasma gondii. Cytological examination of the resulting ascite tumours has shown that chromosome aberrations were associated with the presence of C and A viral particles.
