Abstract
THE canine transmissible sarcoma (venereal tumour) is a naturally transplanted tumour of the dog which is transmitted from one animal to another by coitus. The tumour will also grow after parenteral injection of viable tumour cells. Chromosome analyses of the spontaneous and transplanted tumours have shown that the stemline cell has a consistent number of 59 or 60 in contrast to the normal 78 of canine somatic cells1–3. My investigations of tumours have given similar results.
