Distribution of Tritiated Thymidine about a Capillary Sinusoid in a Transplanted Mouse Tumour (original) (raw)

Abstract

DURING an investigation of the uptake of tritiated thymidine by mouse tumour tissue, fortuitous sections of tumour were found showing a large capillary sinusoid cut along its long axis for a distance of 2,000µ. Autoradiographs of these sections showed concentric zones of labelled cells, unlabelled cells morphologically intact, and necrotic tumour cells, at increasing distances from the capillary.
