Abstract: | The extract of Ehrlich's ascitis tumour cells depressed specifically the proliferative activity of this tumour cells. This was expressed in a marked reduction in the number of dividing and DNA-synthesizing cells after the extract injection. The mitotic index fell considerably as soon as 2 hours after the injection, reached the minimum in 4 to 5 hours and was restored to the control level in 9 to 12 hours. The radioactive index appeared to be evenly decreased in the course of 18 hours of the experiment. |
