THE EFFECT OF ACUTE EXPOSURE TO 2 DEGREES C ON HOST RESISTANCE TO EHRLICH ASCITES TUMOR,

Abstract

Adult albino mice were challenged intraperitoneally and subcutaneously with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. The challenged animals were then transferred to 2 degrees C . The cold exposed animals had higher mortality ratios for any given time period compared to 21 degrees C controls, although the final mortality ratios were the same. Possible explanations of the results are given in the discussion. (Author)
