Induced Plasmacytoma Formation in Mice
Although plasmacytomas can develop spontaneously in mice, the more common origin requires inducing agents. In the system which we will describe, plasmacytomagenesis is initiated by the intraperitoneal injectio...

The Genetics of Susceptibility to RIM-Induced Plasmacytomagenesis
BALB/cAn mice are susceptible to the induction of plasmacytomas (PCTs) by the intraperitoneal injection of pristane. An average of 60% of the mice inoculated with pristane develop tumors with a mean latent per...

Synergy of an IgH Promoter-Enhancer-Driven c-myc/v-Ha-ras Retrovirus and Pristane in the Induction of Murine Plasmacytomas
Intraperitoneal injection of BALBc/An mice with a single 0.5 ml dose of the mineral oil pristane leads to the appearance of malignant Ig-secreting (usually IgA) plasma cells in 25% of mice after minimal latent...

Rapid Induction of Plasmacytomas in Mice by Pristane and a Murine Recombinant Retrovirus Containing an Avian v-myc and a Defective raf Oncogene
Plasma cell tumors can be induced in genetically susceptible BALB/cAn mice by the intraperitoneal injection of various kinds of mineral (paraffin) oils or available components of these oils. Currently, the mos...
