Abstract excerpt
Rat lymphoid cells, TARS-1, immortalized by coculture with adult T-cell leukemia cells, were intraperitoneally injected into 65 newborn, inbred WKAH/Hkm rats. In most of the rats, tumor nodules were discernible 7 to 15 days after transplantation but were completely rejected within 5 to 6 weeks. Two rats with no tumor nodules exhibited gait disturbances and paralysis of the hind legs 3 to 4 weeks after...
