Abstract excerpt
Three phenotypically different clonal human glioma cell lines were injected stereotactically into nude-rat brains, to determine their individual growth potential and to establish an in vivo system in which different therapeutic modalities could be tested. As assessed by serial sectioning, microscopic evaluation, and computer analysis, the mean approximate tumour volume after 3-7 weeks in vivo was 0.42 mm(3) for...
