Effects of Syngeneic Fresh and Liquid Preserved Red Blood Cells on Primary and Metastatic Growth of the Lewis Lung Carcinoma in Mice

摘要

This Study examined the effects of transfusion of fresh and liquid pr served syngeneic red blood cells on the primary and metastatic growth of the Lewis Lung Carcinoma in mice. Trans fusions of nonviable syngeneic red blood cells enhanced the growth of metastatic tumors in four out of the seven experiments. The conflicting results observed may have been due to the differences in the virulence of the tumor cells associated with the number of tumor transfers from-one mouse to another for the various experiments.
