Transplantable Osteogenic Tumor in the Rat¹

Department of Anatomy, University of Illinois College of Medicine, and Illinois Institute for Juvenile Research, Chicago, Illinois

Histochemical and morphologic characteristics of a rat osteogenic sarcoma-like tumor are described. Inorganic material, mainly calcium phosphate and carbonate, has been histochemically demonstrated in all subsequent transplants. The tumor, which occurred spontaneously in an adult Sprague-Dawley rat, is being maintained by serial transplantation in Holtzman rats.

¹ This investigation was supported in part by a University of Illinois Institutional Cancer Grant (50-09-07) and by a grant from the Graduate College of the University of Illinois (05-19-35).
