Deoxyribonuclease treatment prevents blood-borne liver metastasis of cutaneously transplanted tumour cells in mice
Murine L5178Y-ML cells, when transplanted subcutaneously into the flank of (BALB/c x DBA/2)F1 mice, grew locally and always formed spontaneous metastases in the liver. Even after surgical removal of the primar...

Solid-gas effect inK-vacancy production in near symmetric slow heavy-ion-atom collisions
We have measured the target thickness dependence ofK-vacancy production probabilities and total cross sections for 40.6 MeV Ar ions hitting Ca and Cu targets. The probabilities were measured as a function of the ...

Serine protease-induced enhancement of blood-borne metastasis of rat ascites tumour cells and its prevention with deoxyribonuclease
Serine proteases, such as alpha-chymotrypsin or elastase, caused an aggregation of rat ascites tumour cell lines, AH-130, AH-109A and YS, in a protein free medium which preserved the cell viability. This aggre...

Search for interference structures in the quasimolecular X-ray-andK-vacancy production in close collisions of 462 MeV hydrogen-like Kr ions on Mo solid targets
The impact parameter dependence of the emission of quasimolecular radiation and of quasiresonantK−K transfer has been investigated for collisions of 462 MeV Kr35+−Mo solid target. The results are compared with ca...
