Abstract excerpt
Individual variability of scoring foci positive for transformation presents a difficult problem in assessing the transformation assay. In this study, an attempt was made to identify five morphologically distinct types of transformed foci based on size (2-3, 3-4, and > or = 4 mm in diameter), inva...
