Abstract
THE mouse tumour MCIM (Klein) exists in two sub-lines, the Mss, which only grows in the solid form, and the MAA, which grows as an ascites tumour and also in solid form, designated MA S. The difference between the behaviour of the sub-lines is as yet unexplained in terms of cell structure. Bergstrand and Ringertz have recently found no constant difference on examination with the electron microscope1. These tumours have been investigated recently by means of the aniline-blue staining technique2.
